Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s Degrees

Students who can qualify may participate in an accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s (ABM) program.  This program enables students to complete an undergraduate and graduate degree in less time (minimum 5 years).  The ABM program in Bilingual Communication Arts and Media Studies allows UIW students to finish their two degrees in 151 hours rather than 164 required of a traditional undergraduate and a graduate program combined. An accelerated program results in a lower cost as well as a time-savings for our students because they are allowed to take up to 9 hours of graduate courses in their fourth year as part of the banded tuition.  Students must apply for the ABM program in the beginning of their junior year and have the necessary GPA and GRE scores to enter the program.
