Accelerated Bachelor's to Master's Degree Program
The Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s (ABM) degree program offered through the 传播艺术系 is a rigorous and streamlined program that enables students to earn both a Bachelor of Arts in 沟通的艺术 and a Master of Arts in 沟通的艺术 degree in as few as five years.
Why an Accelerated Degree Program?
学生 can complete two degrees in 151 hours rather than the 164 required of a traditional consecutive undergraduate and a graduate program. An accelerated program results in a lower cost as well as time-savings for students because they may take up to 9 hours of graduate courses in their fourth year as part of the banded tuition. 学生 must apply for the ABM program in the beginning of their junior year and have the necessary GPA and GRE scores to enter the program.
Qualifying students can apply for the program and indicate their choice of one of three concentrations:
