Accelerated Programs
CMU's accelerated graduate options help you save time, reduce costs and build advanced career skills while still completing your undergraduate degree. Start your graduate degree before you finish your bachelor's, no business major required.
What the experience looks like
Accelerated programs are intentionally structured to help you transition from undergraduate to graduate coursework with support along the way.
You’ll work closely with faculty and advisors to map out courses, understand expectations and make sure the path fits your goals and schedule. Instead of feeling like a completely separate step after graduation, graduate school becomes a continuation of the progress you’re already making.
Why consider an accelerated program?
Accelerated programs are designed for students who want to build momentum while they’re already succeeding in their undergraduate studies.
Depending on the program, you could:
- Earn credits that count toward both degrees.
- Pay undergraduate tuition for select graduate courses.
- Complete your master’s degree faster.
- Build specialized career skills earlier.
- Explore graduate school before fully committing.
