Accelerated Graduate Enrollment (AGRADE)

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences' Accelerated Graduate Enrollment (AGRADE) program provides the opportunity for top students to enroll simultaneously in an undergraduate and graduate program. Students can apply a maximum of 16 credits towards both an undergraduate and a graduate degree in the student's major or closely aligned field. Students electing AGRADE programs may expect to complete their bachelor's and master's in five years of full-time study.

Students must apply for an AGRADE program during the semester that they earn 90 credits toward an undergraduate degree (typically during junior year). Applicants must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.3 and final approval from their major department.
