Accelerated programs
Accelerated Bachelor's to Master's Degree Programs
West Chester University is proud to offer more than 30 accelerated programs for WCU undergraduate students who are interested in taking graduate coursework and intend to complete a master's degree at WCU following graduation. Students with at least junior standing can begin taking graduate coursework to count towards a master's degree. Accelerated programs expedite the time to completion of a master's degree and also decrease the overall combined credits necessary to complete the undergraduate and graduate degrees.
