AMP offers early admissions and an early start on your graduate education. Apply as a junior and have the peace of mind that comes with early acceptance into graduate school. Take graduate courses as a senior and accelerate completion of your studies.
How does the program work? Students apply and may be accepted to graduate school during their junior year. In their senior year, selected students are assigned a graduate advisor and may immediately begin taking up to 12 credits of graduate coursework. This additional graduate coursework, above the credit requirements for the undergraduate degree, will convert to graduate credits upon completion of all undergraduate degree requirements. For full-time students, this head start on graduate studies will lead to earlier completion of the MA program. In some programs, full-time students may earn their MA degree in as little as one year after BA completion.
Talk to advisors in participating departments about program requirements, costs, and career options. In most cases, you do not have to be a major to be eligible for admission. Financial aid and scholarships are available.
It’s not too soon to get started on your future.
