Accelerated pathway dual degree programs provide academically outstanding students
                        an accelerated pathway to complete an undergraduate and a master’s degree in a reduced
                        period of time. Accelerated pathway dual degree programs provide senior students permission
                        to take a specified number of master’s level courses as electives toward completion
                        of their bachelor’s degree. The students then apply to the relevant graduate program
                        and if accepted, the previously completed graduate coursework during the senior year
                        is counted as transfer credit toward the completion of the master’s degree.
