Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Combined Bachelor’s & Master’s Degree (BAM) Pathways afford a way for highly motivated students to efficiently complete a Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in a shorter time frame by double-counting course work (3 courses) at the undergraduate tuition rate. In most cases, pathway students graduate with the Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree within 5 years (total).

The pathway in Educational Administration is well suited for students interested in entry and mid-level administrative positions in higher education (e.g., student affairs, student services, housing, financial aid, admissions).
