4+1 Programs

Benefits of the 4+1 program

  • Save money – Since graduate degree program charges are assessed on a per credit hour basis, your completion of graduate hours as part of your regular full-time undergraduate schedule (up to 18 hours per semester) lessens the number of hours you will pay for as you complete your Master’s degree.
  • Save time – By enrolling in the 4+1 program, you will begin taking graduate level courses during your undergraduate studies. This type of dual enrollment will save you 6-12 months in time to completion of your master’s program when compared to regular graduate applicants.
  • Complement your UD Undergraduate Degree – You can enroll in a 4+1 program that is highly related or unrelated to your UD undergraduate major. The 4+1 degree can help you expand the depth or breadth of your knowledge to empower your personal and professional goals.\
