Accelerated Master’s
Get an Early Start
With NU’s accelerated master’s programs, eligible undergraduates can get a head start by taking graduate courses that count toward both their bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Students can begin earning these credits as early as their junior or senior year and have the flexibility to pursue a master’s program outside their current major.
Features
EASIER TRANSITION
The program allows students to start taking graduate courses during their junior and senior years.
SHORTENED TIMEFRAME
Students can obtain their undergraduate and graduate degrees in less time than it takes to complete them separately.
LOWER COSTS
Graduate-level courses taken as an undergraduate are paid for through the undergraduate block tuition rate.
