Earn a Master's Degree identical to our standard two-year MA on an accelerated timeline by beginning the work before graduating from ¶¶Òõ̽̽. Normally a BA plus MA takes six years, so an accelerated degree saves you both time and tuition dollars!

Program Overview

The AMP is designed to allow current ¶¶Òõ̽̽ undergraduate students to earn both bachelor’s and master’s degrees within a total of five years. Accepted AMP students begin work toward the MA during their senior year while completing the BA. Up to nine credits may be taken in the senior year that count toward both the BA and the MA. Three credits toward the MA are then taken in the summer after graduation, and the remaining MA credits (nine per semester) are completed in year five.

There are two available deadlines: February 1st for AMP students beginning the program the following fall semester. October 1st for AMP students beginning the program the following spring semester.
