Is the BA/MA a 5 year program?
The BA/MA program is an accelerated course of study that may allow some students to complete a Master of Arts degree within one year of full-time study after the completion of their Bachelors degrees. However, for many students, completing the MA program will require more than one year of study beyond the BA. The length of time required to complete the MA will depend upon each student’s individual program. Additionally, the time required to complete the degree will depend upon the opportunities that you choose to pursue as a MA student. Many MA students choose to pursue professional development and research opportunities, such as the Boren Fellowship or the Critical Language Fellowship, that enrich their educational experience but may delay the completion of their academic programs.
