Accelerated Master’s for incoming first-year students

Programs > Accelerated > Incoming first-year students

Does it work for you?

The Accelerated Master’s for incoming first-year students is a course schedule that capitalizes on your advanced high school coursework, including

Advanced Placement (AP),
International Baccalaureate (IB),
Cambridge International Exam (CI),
transfer coursework (or dual enrollment) (DE),
ASU Prep Digital,
Accelerate Engineering and Technology (AET),
Engineering Fast Track or
Earned Admission (EA) credits

Using these credits can help you earn your bachelor’s and master’s degrees in four years.

Do you have a New American University Scholarship?

Your New American University Scholarship is renewable for eight consecutive semesters. If you start ASU with enough credits to be considered a sophomore (approximately 18 to 24 credits), you can use the final three-to-four semesters to integrate bachelor’s and master’s degree studies as part of your Accelerated Master’s.

Earn more with a master’s degree

As an Accelerated Master’s graduate, you cultivate the high-value employability skills that top global brands seek out. Also, starting salaries for engineers with a master’s degree can be $9,000 to $15,000 higher than for those who have a bachelor’s degree alone.*
