Accelerated Bachelor to Master Degree Programs (ABM)
The Accelerated Bachelor’s-to-Master’s (ABM) program allows high-achieving undergraduate students enrolled in select majors and intending to pursue a master’s degree in specific programs. The pathway allows undergraduate students an opportunity to complete select requirements for both bachelor’s and master’s degrees simultaneously.
