Accelerated Graduate Programs (4+1 or 4+2)
University of Maine undergraduate students in any major can combine their bachelor’s degree with a master’s degree, and can typically earn both degrees with only one extra year of coursework through the Accelerated Program.
Accelerated students can begin taking graduate-level courses in their Junior or Senior year. Not only will they graduate with both bachelor’s and master’s degrees, but they can also save a year of tuition and, for most programs, their undergraduate aid and scholarships continue to cover part of their graduate classes.
