Eligibility
The program begins each fall semester. If you are interested in this program, you should apply in the spring of your junior year. You must have two full undergraduate terms remaining when you apply to be eligible for this program.
If you are accepted, you will take one graduate course in each of your senior semesters while you complete the undergraduate coursework. You will then complete the master of arts degree. Academic advisors at both the undergraduate and graduate levels will guide you through the process every step of the way.
