What will I learn?

The Accelerated Master's allows undergraduate students to take graduate level courses and apply these to both their undergraduate and graduate course requirements. This is not a degree program, but a route that enables SFU undergraduate students who are looking to progress on to a Master's degree program to complete their graduate coursework in less time. Students typically complete their Master's program 4-12 months faster by entering through the Accelerated option.Once accepted, students can take up to 10 units of graduate course work during their current undergraduate program which will count as electives or upper division credits towards a bachelor’s as well as program requirements to a master’s program.
