UNCG offers undergraduates with demonstrated academic ability a fast
track to a graduate degree. Talented students can earn a bachelor's
and master's degree in approximately five years instead of the usual
six or seven.
Although
formal admission to an accelerated program is usually in the junior
year, careful selection of undergraduate courses beginning in the
freshman year is essential. Interested students should speak with
an advisor in the department of their undergraduate major as early
as possible.
The
program represents two distinct patterns. The first allows students
to continue with graduate work in the same discipline as the undergraduate
major. The second pattern enables students to complement the undergraduate
major with graduate study in another area. See
Accelerated
Master's Programs for specific program requirements.
