Accelerated Learning

Save time and money: Begin graduate school before you finish your bachelor’s degree.

The University of Baltimore offers many accelerated bachelor’s to master’s options that let you take up to 9 graduate credits that “double count” toward both degrees—saving you time and money! Get a head start on your graduate degree while saving up to $9,000.

You can take advantage of this option only if you are continuously enrolled at the University of Baltimore for the entirety of your undergraduate and graduate education (that is, you can’t take advantage of this option and then take a year off before finishing the rest of your graduate degree).

Do you qualify?

Here's what you need:

a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or better
to continue in the accelerated option, you have to maintain a 3.50 GPA or better in your undergraduate coursework and a 3.00 GPA or better in your graduate coursework.
