Accelerated Master’s for incoming first-year students

Programs > Accelerated > Incoming first-year students

Does it work for you?

The Accelerated Master’s for incoming first-year students is a course schedule that capitalizes on your advanced high school coursework, including

Using these credits can help you earn your bachelor’s and master’s degrees in four years.

Do you have a New American University Scholarship?

Your New American University Scholarship is renewable for eight consecutive semesters. If you start ASU with enough credits to be considered a sophomore (approximately 18 to 24 credits), you can use the final three-to-four semesters to integrate bachelor’s and master’s degree studies as part of your Accelerated Master’s.

Earn more with a master’s degree

As an Accelerated Master’s graduate, you cultivate the high-value employability skills that top global brands seek out. Also, starting salaries for engineers with a master’s degree can be $9,000 to $15,000 higher than for those who have a bachelor’s degree alone.*
