Getting a head start on graduate school
The Accelerated Master’s Program (AMP) is for motivated undergraduates in participating programs, who are keen on obtaining graduate credits and wish to enroll in a graduate master’s program while finishing their undergraduate degree.
You save time and costs by completing your master’s degree after just one year of completing your bachelor’s degree.
How does it work?
Students apply to the program during their junior year and, once admitted to AMP, can take graduate level classes that apply both to their undergraduate and graduate programs, enabling a seamless transition to graduate school. Up to 22 graduate-level credits can be transferred from your undergraduate track to help satisfy your graduate requirements.
With careful planning, completion of the master’s program within four terms of completing their undergraduate degree.
Outstanding undergraduate OSU students who have completed 105 of their required 180 credits (or more for some undergraduate programs) toward their degree with an overall GPA of 3.25 or better are eligible to apply to an OSU Accelerated Master's Platform.
Guidance and support as you transition to graduate school
Students in the third year of their undergraduate degree can meet with an AMP advisor, who will help them identify a graduate faculty major professor and/or future thesis advisor to create a plan of study and potential graduate research project.
