Accelerated Master's
How it works
Apply during your junior year, if you meet the admission requirements detailed below.
Up to 12 hours of graduate credit will count toward both your bachelor’s and master’s degree.
Once you’ve completed your bachelor’s degree, you can finish the master’s degree in only two more semesters and one summer.
Scheduling requirements
Work with your advisor to fill out the mixed credit permission form (.pdf).
Before you enroll in a course for both undergraduate and graduate credit, you must receive approval from:
- The criminology graduate program advisor
- The criminology department head
- The dean of the Graduate College
You must receive all approvals prior to the end of the change of schedule period for the course.
