91��Ʒ

Accelerate 91��Ʒ is a program that offers highly motivated and well-qualified 91��Ʒ Connecticut State University undergraduate students the opportunity to complete both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in as few as 5 years of full-time study. Accelerate 91��Ʒ allows students to get a jump-start on a graduate degree by taking up to four (4) graduate level courses, for graduate credit, while remaining a matriculated undergraduate student. Depending on the program, two to four courses may count at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Please see the undergraduate program page to determine how many courses may be counted at both levels.

All 91��Ʒ undergraduate students are eligible to apply to Accelerate 91��Ʒ after successful completion of 60 or more credit hours; of which, at least 12 credit hours must be completed at 91��Ʒ. Some programs may require more credits to be completed at 91��Ʒ before a student is eligible to apply to an Accelerate 91��Ʒ program.

For acceptance into Accelerate 91��Ʒ, the standard undergraduate student will need a GPA of 3.3 or higher (for the most recent 60 credit hours of completed study) and meet program-specific admission criteria.

Students who are accepted into Accelerate 91��Ʒ will officially matriculate into the Graduate Studies at 91��Ʒ the semester immediately following conferral of their bachelor’s degree, provided the minimum 3.0 GPA is maintained.

If a student in an Accelerate 91��Ʒ program decides not to pursue the master's degree, they should notify the department and the registrar's office to be placed back into the original major. Courses that were applied to both graduate and undergraduate transcripts as part of the Accelerate 91��Ʒ program will be removed from the graduate transcript and only be applied to the undergraduate transcript. 500-level courses may be substituted for undergraduate degree requirements with departmental approval. Courses completed for only graduate credit will not be affected and will remain listed on the graduate transcript.
