  • Complete your master's degree a semester or two earlier.

This option is available only for Missouri State undergraduate students.

When to apply

To get on the accelerated track, you should:

  • Make the decision prior to or during your junior year.
    • You must have at least one full semester remaining as an undergraduate student.
