Accelerated Pathway Programs in the School of Education

The School of Education offers this option for full-time undergraduates who wish to combine a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS) in the School of Arts and Sciences with a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) or a Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in the School of Education. Undergraduates who demonstrate a 3.0 or better G.P.A. are eligible for the accelerated pathway program. This program allows students to take up to 15 graduate-level Education credits that apply to both the undergraduate and graduate degrees, thus allowing for acceleration of the graduate degree program.
