We are proud to offer a new Accelerated Master’s Track for students in Counselor Education (M.S.) and Communication Sciences & Disorders (M.S.), giving undergraduate students the opportunity to get a head start on graduate education.

Eligible students can take up to 12 graduate-level credits during their senior year, which count toward both their bachelor’s and master’s degrees. This streamlined pathway allows students to begin their graduate studies early, save on tuition, and potentially finish their master’s degree sooner.

Why It Matters for Students

The Accelerated Master’s Track provides several key benefits:

  • Start Early: Students gain exposure to graduate-level coursework before completing their undergraduate degree.
  • Save Time and Money: Credits earned in the senior year count toward both degrees, reducing overall time in school and tuition costs.
  • Advance Careers: Early completion of graduate requirements helps students enter the workforce faster, strengthening their professional trajectory in fields with high demand.
  • Structured Support: Participants work closely with advisors and program directors to ensure a clear academic path and successful transition to graduate studies.
