Accelerated Bachelor's / Master's Program
The Master's in Interdisciplinary Studies also offers advanced undergraduates the opportunity to begin graduate work in the program once they have completed 90 hours of coursework toward their undergraduate degree. Undergraduates admitted to the accelerated program can "share" credits between their undergraduate and graduate degrees, counting a maximum of one 400-level course and two 500-level courses toward both degrees.
Degree Requirements
Students in the accelerated program must complete all degree requirements for the Master's in Interdisciplinary Studies. Each semester of joint study must include a combination of graduate and undergraduate work until all requirements for the undergraduate degree have been completed. Students will be considered undergraduates until all undergraduate degree requirements have been completed and the appropriate bachelor's degree has been awarded, but will be eligible to enroll in approved graduate-level courses and seminars.
