What are the advantages of the BA/MA program?
The BA/MA program is an opportunity for advanced undergraduate students to begin a Masters degree program before completing the Bachelors degree. Beginning the MA before completing the BA allows students to take courses that can be used to fulfill both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements, saving students both time and money. Courses that are taken to fulfill both graduate and undergraduate degree requirements are called double-counted credits. Some students will also be eligible to complete courses that will only be counted at the graduate level before completing the BA. These are called reserved courses.
