Western Michigan University

The Department of Spanish at Western Michigan University offers an Accelerated Graduate Degree Program in Spanish that allows seniors to accumulate credits towards the completion of a master's degree while still enrolled as an undergraduate. Students admitted to the Spanish AGDP may take up to 12 credit hours of designated 5000- and 6000-level courses for graduate credit. The designated courses may be used to complete both the bachelor's degree and the master's degree. An undergraduate degree in Spanish requires a total of 122 credit hours. The Master of Arts in Spanish requires a total of 30 credit hours. Students enrolling in the AGDP for the maximum of 12 graduate credits would earn 140 total undergraduate and graduate credit hours in contrast to the typical combined 152 undergraduate and graduate credit hours under the usual progression to the degree.
