What are the benefits of pursuing a bachelor’s degree that has an accelerated master’s degree option?

If you are currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree, you can apply to start a master’s degree in your last year, saving both time and money by getting a head start on your graduate education. Plus, having a master’s degree can give you a competitive edge in the marketplace and increase your earning potential.

Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application.
