MPA BRIDGE PROGRAM STRUCTURE
Acceptance into the MPA Bridge program gives you a head start on the Master in Professional Accounting degree in your senior year. Seamlessly complete the remainder of the MPA degree after you finish your bachelor's degree. Here is how this unique program is structured:
Senior Year
If you are admitted to the MPA Bridge program, you will start with ACC 381 in the second summer session (unless you can waive the course) and complete up to 12 hours of MPA coursework in your senior year. You will have the benefit of paying for these graduate courses at undergraduate tuition rates and receiving academic advising and career coaching services from the MPA Program Office. Graduate courses will be reserved toward the MPA degree and cannot be used towards bachelor's degree requirements. To remain in good standing in the program, you will be required to meet the same standards of satisfactory performance as other MPA degree candidates.
Graduate Year(s)
After earning your bachelor’s degree, you will transition to graduate standing and continue your graduate MPA coursework at graduate tuition rates. You will have an opportunity to apply for MPA scholarships to help defray some of the graduate tuition costs. Check out MPA Bridge admissions and tuition & financial aid for additional details.
