Accelerated Master’s Pathway
A Faster Path to Your Master’s Degree
Start earning credits toward your Master’s degree while in your Bachelor's program. Through our Accelerated Master’s Pathway, you can work on both degrees at the same time. You’ll gain advanced skills as an undergraduate and reduce your time in graduate school. If you decide to continue your education, you could save up to $6,330 and be up to six courses ahead, depending on your area of study, making your next degree that much more achievable.1 Upon completing your Master’s, you’ll enter the workforce with more education in less time.
The Accelerated Master’s Pathway is available in ten of our popular Business, Health Sciences and Nursing programs plus some specializations. Even if you’re unsure about earning your Master’s degree, this risk-free option allows you to test drive graduate education without having to commit to a Master's program.

"Once you get in it, it just becomes a part of who you are. It doesn't really change too much from degree to degree. The due dates stay pretty much the same, though the workload changes a bit. It's really just doing the same thing that you're already doing, but you’re continuing to further your education."
