4+1 Pathways

What is a 4+1 Pathway?

4+1 pathways are designed for students who are eager to accelerate their academic and professional journey allowing you to earn both a bachelor’s and master’s degree within a condensed time frame of just five year.

Key Features:

• Accelerated Timeline: Start taking graduate-level courses as early as your senior year of undergrad, reducing the time required to earn both degrees.
• Cost Savings: Benefit from undergraduate tuition rates for all graduate courses taken during your senior year, making advanced education more affordable and cost-effective.
• Personalized Pathways: Receive individualized advising to tailor your academic plan based on your major and career goals. This personalized approach helps you efficiently complete foundational coursework and transition smoothly to graduate-level studies.

Important Note: Participation in a 4+1 pathway does not guarantee acceptance into the graduate program. Students must still meet the minimum admission requirements and submit a formal application for consideration.
