Nathan Blizzard ’20, M.A. ’21, says CMU’s accelerated M.A. in economics gave him an opportunity to challenge himself while saving time and money on his graduate degree. 🔥🆙

At Central Michigan University, accelerated master’s programs, also known as 4+1, 3+2 dual-degree, or fast-track programs, allow students to begin their master’s degree while completing their bachelor’s degree. Typically, students complete their master’s degree one year after earning their bachelor’s degree, allowing them to earn two degrees in approximately five years while saving both time and money.
