Starting in fall 2022 the department offers accelerated degree options, which allow students to transition from their bachelor’s degree to a master’s degree. There programs have 3 goals: streamline the transition of high-performing undergraduate students into their graduate degree; expedite completion of their master’s degrees; and increase enrollments.
Qualified students will be allowed to take up to 12 hours of graduate class work while they are completing their undergraduate degrees. The credits will count toward both degrees. Options include (1) accelerated BA or BS in Political Science-to-Master of Public Administration OR (2) accelerated BA or BS in Multidisciplinary Studies: Security Studies-to-Master of Science in Security Studies.
