Accelerated master’s degree
The College offers more than 80 accelerated degree program pathways that allow you to share up to 12 credits between your undergraduate and graduate coursework, reducing the overall amount of credits required to graduate with both degrees.
When you enroll in an online or in-person accelerated master’s program, you’ll benefit from additional perks, including:
Saving time by entering your career field up to one year sooner, with a master’s degree giving you a competitive edge.
Reduced cost overall by taking some graduate-level courses at undergraduate tuition rates.
Transferring to ASU completely changed my life. As a single mom working fulltime, I once thought earning multiple degrees — let alone a master’s — would be impossible. The accelerated program made it achievable and empowering. Through ASU’s flexible online format, I completed two bachelor’s degrees and a master’s while advancing in my career.”
