Accelerated Bachelor to Master Program (ABM)

Graduating students

The Accelerated Bachelor to Master (ABM) program allows qualified undergraduates to simultaneously earn credits toward completion of both bachelor’s and master’s degrees. You may earn up to 12 graduate credit hours toward the requirements of both your undergraduate and graduate degrees. The ABM process is entered by the Registrar’s Office as institutional credit.
