How to apply

There are over a thousand accelerated master’s degree options available at ASU. You may be able to choose a master's degree option from the same discipline as your undergraduate major or one from a different discipline.

What to expect

The accelerated master's program allows you to share up to 12 credit hours between your undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. You should start working with your advisor early, as a first-year student or sophomore, to make sure you’re on track by your junior year.

Here is a sample of the milestones you should be achieving each year in order to be on the accelerated path to program completion.

1. Undergraduate first year:
   • Review the accelerated master’s degree program options.
2. Undergraduate sophomore year:
   • Talk to an academic advisor to discuss your program of interest.
3. Undergraduate junior year:
   • Meet GPA and other requirements specific to your program of interest.
   • Meet with your accelerated program advisor to discuss the application process.
4. Undergraduate senior year:
   • Complete shared coursework and apply for admission to the graduate program.
   • Complete your undergraduate degree and be admitted to the graduate program.
5. Graduate year:
   • Complete your graduate degree program
