SCAI Accelerated Master's Application

Accelerated master's students at ASU have the opportunity to double-count/share credits between undergraduate and graduate degree requirements which comes with many benefits!

• No Fee.* There are no fees to apply or begin the accelerated track. If students later decide not to continue into the graduate program, any completed 5XX level credits can still satisfy undergraduate degree requirements. There is no penalty if students do not complete the master's. 

• Save Money.  Any shared or reserved graduate credits earned in the undergraduate career will be charged at the undergraduate tuition rate, thus students may use any undergraduate funding, including financial aid and/or scholarships, to pay for the cost of these credits. Remaining NAMU scholarship awards may also be carried into to a campus-based graduate program to help save even more on tuition.  

• In some cases students may also opt to reserve additional pre-admission credits towards their master's degree. 

• Arizona residents may be eligible to receive the Accelerated Master's Award for a maximum of two semesters of the graduate program. 

• Save Time. Students have the opportunity to earn their master's within one year after graduation.

• Gain Competitive Edge. Accelerated students possess the drive for high academic achievement and earning a master's degree increases opportunity for career advancement. See current US Census numbers.

*This application is for candidacy for the accelerated track. An ASU Graduate Admissions Application (and fee) will also be required for official graduate admissions (to be completed in the senior year).
