Accelerated Master's Programs

Earn up to half your master's degree while completing your bachelor's with AMP

Accelerated Master's Program (AMP) IU gives motivated, ambitious students a competitive advantage in the global marketplace — and saves time. IU Bloomington students enrolled in one of our 25 Accelerated Master’s Degree Programs can complete both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in just five years

Accelerated master’s degrees, sometimes referred to as 3+2 or 4+1 programs, are any program which allow admitted students to take graduate courses during their IU undergraduate career for sequential completion of a master’s degree as part of a cohesive course of study.

Choose a degree combination that enhances your training in a specific field, or combine degrees that pull together your personal academic and career goals. Some programs even include financial aid to help cover graduate coursework for eligible undergraduates. 

Whether you enroll in a 4+1 or a 3+2 program, AMP IU will save you time and money—all while positioning you for maximum post-graduate success.
