Early Admission to Graduate School Programs

The following Four Plus One or Double Up or Accelerated Graduate Programs allow qualifying undergraduate students from any undergraduate degree program on any University of Maine campus while in the third year of their undergraduate degree program to enroll in the School’s following graduate programs: MS Information Systems, MS Spatial Informatics or MS Spatial Information Science and Engineering (non-thesis option) programs. The MS Computer Science double-up program is limited to students enrolled in CS or similar degrees. Entering a double-up program is likely to shorten acquisition of the master’s degree by up to a year. The Four Plus One or Double Up graduate courses in the MSIS and MSSI programs may be taken through on-campus classes or by distance.
