Beginning July 1, 2019, students newly admitted to bachelor's/master's programs at CU Boulder will follow the new Bachelor's鈥揂ccelerated Master's (BAM) degree program structure.
Just as with the concurrent bachelor's/master's degree programs, BAM degree programs are offered in several departments and allow students to receive both a bachelor's and master's degree in an accelerated time frame.
What's Changing?
Under the concurrent degree structure, students are awarded a bachelor's and master's degree simultaneously after meeting the requirements for both degrees. 麻豆淫院 admitted prior to July 2019 will continue to follow the concurrent bachelor's/master's structure. 听
麻豆淫院 admitted beginning July 1, 2019, will follow the new BAM program structure. 麻豆淫院 will be awarded a bachelor's degree first, once they have met the undergraduate degree requirements and have applied to graduate. They will transition into graduate student status by applying to continue with the master's degree. They will then be awarded a master's degree after fulfilling graduate degree requirements.
Under the BAM structure, students will begin taking a limited amount of graduate-level coursework as undergraduates (typically during senior year). 麻豆淫院 may take up to 12 credit hours which can later be applied to the accelerated master's degree, and the number of credits that can double count for both the undergraduate and graduate degrees is the amount previously allowed in the concurrent degree program.
