Accelerated Bachelor's-To-Master's Program

The Acceclerated Bachelor's-to-Master's (ABM) program allows students at MTSU to start working towards an MSPS degree as they finish their bachelor's.  Students accepted into the program can take up to 12 hours of graduate-level coursework that will apply to both their bachelor's and master's degrees.  

ABM Advantages

  • saves time:  decreases time-to-graduate with master's degree
  • costs less:  pay undergraduate rates for up to 12 graduate credit hours
  • be competitive:  succeeding in graduate-level courses as an undergraduate increases your competitiveness for graduate or professional schools

Note:  Students choosing to enter the ABM program and take the graduate-level courses are under no obligation to enter an MSPS program.
