Accelerated Master's Programs
Earn your bachelor’s and master’s degree in as little as five years
Academically strong Mason undergraduates with a commitment to research or to graduate or professional studies may apply for a Bachelor's/Accelerated Master's (BAM)!
- The graduate application fee is waived for BAM applicants;
- Once accepted into the BAM, students may apply up to twelve graduate credits to their undergraduate degree, and take an additional six graduate credits that will apply only to their graduate degree;
- Graduate-level credits taken during the student's undergraduate years will be billed at the undergraduate rate.
Please visit your BAM's University Catalog entry (below) and speak to an advisor for more details.
