Accelerated Master’s Degree Option - MSEd, Secondary Education, English

The MSEd, Secondary Education, English accelerated master’s degree option provides exceptional MSU undergraduate students the opportunity to enroll in a combined baccalaureate and master’s degree program.

Eligible BSEd majors may apply for preliminary acceptance into the MSEd, Secondary Education, English program after admission requirements for the accelerated master’s degree option have been satisfied. Once accepted, students will be able to take up to 12 hours of graduate-level English courses that apply to both their undergraduate and graduate programs. Before enrolling in courses for both undergraduate and graduate credit, an undergraduate student must be accepted into the accelerated program and receive prior approval from the English Education Program Coordinator, the ENG Department Head, and the Graduate College. This is done by using a mixed credit form. A student will be fully admitted to the Graduate College upon completion of the requirements for the baccalaureate degree, provided the student meets all other requirements for admission to the Graduate College. Acceptance into the program and all approvals must be completed prior to the end of the Change of Schedule Period for the course(s). See the Graduate College for further information.
