About the Accelerated Graduate Program Process
Currently, there are three options for earning a graduate degree utilizing the accelerated program process. Once accepted to pursue an accelerated program, the BSSD student will follow a course schedule in their senior year which prepares them to transition to their selected graduate program. Students will need to apply to their specific graduate program and this process does not guarantee acceptance into a graduate program.
