Application Deadline for Accelerated BA/MA in Applied SOCY
Spring 2017
Location
On Campus
Date
November 15, 2016 (All Day Event)
Description
About
The accelerated B.A./M.A. is designed for academically
superior undergraduate students at UMBC in any major. Accelerated
B.A./M.A. students may take up to 9 credits of 600-level courses in
their senior year that count for both the B.A. and M.A. degrees. This
reduces the number of credits required for the M.A. degree. For example,
students who complete the maximum of 9 graduate credits in their senior
year need to complete only 21 additional credits for the M.A. degree.
Full-time students can complete the remaining 21 credits in two
semesters plus a summer course.
Graduate courses are offered at 4:30pm-7:00pm or 7:10pm-9:40pm one day per week Monday through Thursday.
Program Highlights
- Earn an MA in 12 to 18 months
- Lower the cost of graduate school
- No application fee
- SOCY and HAPP majors are able to replace certain undergraduate courses with their graduate equivalents (i.e. SOCY 658 in lieu of SOCY 458)
How to Apply
Students
are eligible for admission into the B.A./M.A. program after they have
earned 90 undergraduate credits. Plan to apply for admission by the
second semester of your junior year.
