Accelerate Your Graduate Degree

Stout’s Accelerated Program (undergraduate + graduate) helps you get a jump start on your master’s degree before you finish your undergraduate degree. Save time and money by applying up to nine credits of graduate-level coursework to both the completion of your bachelor’s degree and the start of a UW-Stout master’s degree.

Eligibility

You must have a minimum undergraduate GPA of 2.75 (or meet the graduate program’s GPA requirement) and be within 45 credits of completing your bachelor’s degree to apply for an accelerated program.

  2. Meet with the graduate PD of your intended master’s program to outline recommended course work.

  3. Once your eligibility is confirmed, complete the Accelerated Program Enrollment Statement form with your undergraduate PD, including work experience, admissions requirements, GPA, etc.
