Start Your Master While Finishing Your Bachelor
Through our , you can enroll in up to two fully online graduate courses during your senior year攁t no additional cost攅arning 6 credits toward your master while completing your bachelor.
How It Works
Eligible seniors can enroll in one graduate course in the fall and one in the spring during their senior year.
These courses count toward your future master degree and appear on your graduate transcript.
Each semester:
- You may take up to 20 total credits (undergraduate & graduate).
- You檒l complete a brief through the Graduate & Professional Programs (GPP) Office.
- Once approved, the Registrar's Office will register for the course during your normal course selection period攏o separate process required.
What you'll gain:
Time and Savings: Early Entry lets you accelerate completion of your master degree while saving significantly on cost. Seniors who take advantage of Early Entry by completing two graduate courses can earn their master for under $20,000.*
Convenience and Familiarity:
You檒l begin your online graduate program already familiar with graduate-level expectations, pacing, and subject matter. Our on-line courses are designed to support working professionals and ensure a smooth transition from undergraduate to graduate study.
Simple and Seamless:
There no separate master application required. Your Early Entry application serves as your admission to the graduate program of your choice. The Graduate and Professional Programs Enrollment team will automatically obtain your final transcript and contact you to confirm your intent to continue in your master program.
