The accelerated dual degree program establishes a framework of rules by which academic units may offer students the option of earning a combined bachelor's and graduate degree in an accelerated program. The program allows students with 30 hours of advanced standing credit to earn both the bachelor's and the master's degrees within three to four years of matriculation and the bachelor's and PhD degrees in as short a period as five years from matriculation. Interested applicants should contact the academic programs of interest to design a degree plan.
