Students who begin the accelerated master’s program in the fall of their senior year will pay tuition for two semesters once they matriculate into the full-time MAJS program: fall/spring
Students who begin the accelerated master’s program in the spring of their senior year may end up paying for tuition for three semesters in the full-time MAJS program if they do not take two elective courses in the spring: fall/spring/fall
Students who register for more than 16 credit hours will be charged per credit hour for each credit over 16.
