Pursue BAM or Concurrent Degrees

If you're interested in a bachelor's–accelerated master's program, you will need to submit a BAM intent application. You can also use the form to upload any additional application materials required by the department for consideration. Students typically apply in their junior year.

Please inquire with the department that offers your program of interest for program-specific deadlines and additional information.

Under the BAM program, you'll receive your bachelor's degree once you've met the undergraduate requirements. Up to 12 credit hours can be taken while in undergraduate status (typically in your senior year), which can later be used toward the master's degree. A limited number of credits can also be double counted toward both degrees. 

In the final semester of your bachelor’s degree work, complete these steps to continue with the master's degree:

1. Apply to graduate with your bachelor's degree.
2. Submit a master's continuation form.
3. Submit a BAM supplement form to identify which courses you're double counting and which you're using toward the master's degree.

The last day to complete all three steps is:

• Oct. 1 for fall graduates
• Feb. 1 for spring graduates
• March 1 for summer graduates

You'll then finish your degree requirements in graduate status.

If you're a BAM student at undergraduate status and your expected graduation term has changed, or if you've decided not to continue with the master's degree, submit a BAM program change/discontinuation form.

If you’re a BAM student at graduate status and you no longer want to continue with the master's degree, please submit a withdrawal form.
