UNCG 2001-2002 UGB: Accelerated Master's Programs

Accelerated Master's Programs
for Undergraduates

BA in Biology and MS in Chemistry
Return to 2001-2002 UGB Accelerated Master's Program Menu

The accelerated program in Biology provides the opportunity for a student to complete a B.A. in Biology (122 hours) within a four-year period and to shorten the time required to finish the Master of Science degree in Chemistry.

Interested students should:

have some Advanced Placement credit upon admission to UNCG in order to reduce the number of required undergraduate hours. See AP Credit courses.
identify themselves as potential accelerated candidates early in their academic careers in order to receive appropriate advising. Although formal admission to an accelerated program usually occurs in the junior year, careful selection of undergraduate courses beginning in the freshman year is essential. Students should talk with an advisor in the department of Biology as early as possible.
plan to take the GRE in the spring of the junior year.
seek admission to the Graduate School in the fall of the senior year.
