Fast track your way to getting your degrees
Fast track programs — the inside scoop
Do you know what a
dual degree program is?
A dual degree program, sometimes called a fast track or accelerated program, is a practical, efficient way to get your bachelor's and master's degrees at an accelerated rate, all at the same school.
In a fast track, dual degree program, you save time and money by completing both your bachelor’s and master’s degree in a unique format — compared to completing two degrees separately.
