The Accelerated Master’s Program is a competitive program for outstanding O’Neill undergraduate students. Students may apply to the Master of Public Affairs (MPA) or the Master of Science in Criminal Justice and Public Safety (MSCJPS) programs early in their junior year and begin fulfilling graduate program requirements during their senior year.
Graduate courses count for both graduate and undergraduate degree requirements.
