The Accelerated Degree Program (ADP) allows students to earn both a master’s degree and an undergraduate degree from the College of Business Administration. Undergraduate students accepted to the ADP begin graduate level course work during their undergraduate studies.

For 5000 level classes only (those cross listed with undergraduate classes): students must have a minimum GPA of 3.000 overall, a minimum GPA of 3.000 in business classes and may take a maximum of two classes per term (6 credits). Students may take more than 16 credits total only if their overall GPA and business GPA is 3.250 or higher. 

For 6000-level classes: students may pursue enrollment beginning within the junior year; may take a maximum of two classes per term (6 credits); must have a minimum GPA of 3.000 overall and a minimum GPA of 3.000 in business classes. Students may take more than 16 credits total only if their overall GPA and business GPA is 3.250 or higher. 

Students may double-count a maximum of 9 credits: these graduate courses count toward both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. If students are denied admission to the master’s program, the courses are counted toward the undergraduate degree only. A minimum grade of B is required for courses taken as an undergraduate student for graduate credit to apply toward graduate program requirements. Upon completion of the first term as a master's candidate, students must request courses taken as an undergraduate be transferred to the master's degree.

To be considered for admission to the Accelerated Degree Program, applicants must formally apply to the Graduate School of Management during their junior or senior year at Marquette University and complete all of the application requirements.
