Master of Arts in Workforce Education, Development and Leadership (Accelerated)

The Accelerated Graduate Degree Program (AGDP) in Workforce Education and Development (WFED) allows qualifying students to begin accumulating credits toward completion of a Master of Arts degree in WFED while still enrolled as undergraduates in the WFED major. Undergraduate students admitted to the AGDP, with senior standing, may take up to 12 credit hours of designated 5000-level courses for graduate credit. These designated courses may be used in completion of both the bachelor's degree and the master's degree.

The 30 hour program of study is identical to the MA described above. Students will pay undergraduate tuition for designated AGDP 5000-level courses as undergraduates, and the courses will be included in the flat tuition rate. On completion of the undergraduate degree, the student will be re-classified as a graduate student and then will pay graduate tuition rates for additional courses leading to the MA. Students who previously have received their baccalaureate degrees will be ineligible to apply for this program and retroactively claim credits toward the M.A. degree.
