Accelerated Master’s Program (AMP)

(Policy created on 5/1/06; effective Fall 2007)

The Graduate College offers exceptional undergraduate students in selected majors the opportunity to earn both a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in as few as 5 years. The Accelerated Master’s Program (AMP) is for the top undergraduates in participating majors who plan to continue in a graduate program in the same, or closely related, UA discipline. To determine if this in an option in your major, see the list of currently approved AMPs.

The Graduate College has established minimum AMP admission requirements; however, departments may set additional or more stringent requirements. Interested students should check with the department offering the AMP regarding the graduate program admission criteria.

Additionally, undergraduates should become familiar with the general AMP degree and tuition policies prior to applying to the Graduate College.
