Why should I enroll in a 4+1 program?
By receiving your master’s degree in just one year, you’ll save the time and expense of a typical graduate program, which usually takes at least two years to complete. As soon as you’re accepted into the 4+1 program, any graduate-level courses you take will be offered at undergraduate prices!
Plus, having earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in five years, you’ll launch your career more quickly, be more marketable to potential employers, and likely secure a higher salary.
