• Degree conferral
  • Where required by the graduate or professional degree program, bachelor’s degrees can be conferred when student ascend to graduate/professional level before the end of their accelerated programs provided all requirements for the appropriate undergraduate program have been satisfied.  In all other cases, both degrees will be conferred upon completion of the entire accelerated program and completion of requirement for both programs.
  • Students who do not complete the entire accelerated program are required to complete all requirements for the appropriate undergraduate program before the bachelor’s degree will be awarded.
