Ecology & Evolutionary Biology (MS) - Accelerated Master's Program

About

The Accelerated Master's Program allows students to receive a BS and MS degree in 5 years. During the first three years, the student will enroll in undergraduate courses. During the fourth year, or the transitional year, the student is eligible to take graduate level courses that will apply to both the BS degree and MS degree. During the fifth year, the student will formally be admitted to the Graduate College and will be considered a graduate student and will complete the remaining units and thesis. The Accelerated Master's Program is only available for current University of Arizona students who are working towards a BS in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. No other major, including Biology, or BA tracks qualify for the program.
