Accelerated Degree Programs (ADP) allow current Marquette University undergraduate students to immediately move into a master's degree after completing their bachelor's degrees.  ADP students take classes during their junior and/or senior years that meet requirements for both their undergraduate and graduate degrees.  With proper planning, students can often complete a master's degree in one additional academic year – saving $12-16,000.

The College of Business Administration and Graduate School of Management offer ADP options within the areas below.  A full list of Marquette University ADP programs is available here.

Learn More: Reach out to the admissions counselor to discuss your interests and questions.

Apply: Students may submit an ADP application within their junior or senior year.

ADP Planning within Advising Meetings

If you are interested in a MU ADP program, please mention your interest in your academic advising meeting, so your faculty advisor can consider ADP goals within overall course selection.  If you have questions about a specific ADP program, please reach out to the faculty directors listed above.

*MBA outreach: Freshmen and sophomores are encouraged to contact Makeena Brick.  Juniors and seniors are encouraged to contact Sofie Sanchez.

Course Registration During Undergraduate Studies

Step 1: Register for undergraduate courses: ADP students will register for undergraduate courses during the registration appointment time assigned through CheckMarq.

If you will request graduate-level access to a course with 4000-5000 cross-listed sections (FINA 4040/5040 for example), please register for a spot in the 4000-level course. As GSM staff begin to consider graduate-level access, it is most helpful for enrollment maximums when we can help a student swap from the 4000 to the 5000-level section.

Step 2: Request access to graduate courses: Undergraduate students may request registration access for graduate courses using this form.
