Accelerated BS/MS Degree in Applied Geography

Accelerated BS/MS Degree in Applied Geography

The Department of Geographic and Environmental Sciences offers an accelerated MS program in which qualifying majors in Geography may earn up to 9 graduate-level credit hours (at either the 500 or 600 level) during their Senior year. These hours may then be applied towards an MS degree in Applied Geography at the University of Louisville. The selected graduate-level courses are applied towards both the undergraduate degree and the graduate degree allowing students to go on and complete the graduate degree with the remaining graduate hours, saving both time and expense.
