Accelerated Master's Programs

Earn your bachelor's degree and master's degree in five years or less

Accelerated Master’s Programs (AMP) gives motivated, ambitious students a competitive advantage in the global marketplace—and saves time. IU Bloomington students enrolled in a growing list of AMP degrees can complete both a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in just five years. 

Choose a combination that enhances your expertise in a specific field or one that aligns with your personal goals. Whichever combination you choose, the AMP will save you time and money, positioning you for maximum post-graduate success.

How does it work?

Students (1) apply to the AMP degree as undergraduates, usually during their second or third year; (2) take master’s courses early while finishing their bachelor’s degree; and then (3) finish their remaining master’s courses as graduate students. Most programs allow early master’s courses to count toward both requirements for both degrees at the same time.

Interested students should contact their undergraduate advisor as early as possible. It is best to begin planning for a AMP by the end of your sophomore year.
