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.

  • You have completeda minimum of seventy-five (75) credit hours in your undergraduate program(including advanced placement credits); and
  • You have at least two full-time semesters of undergraduate coursework remainingat the time of application.

Individual ABM pathways may have additional admission requirements (see individual programs).
