Master's & Accelerated Master's

The Concurrent Enrollment pathway allows highly motivated students to begin graduate-level coursework while completing their undergraduate degree, creating an accelerated academic experience built on sustained momentum. By enrolling in undergraduate and graduate courses simultaneously, students make measurable progress toward a master’s degree before earning their bachelor’s.

Students may earn up to 12 graduate credits during their undergraduate program, reducing both the time and cost required to complete a master’s degree. Select credits may apply to both degrees, reinforcing efficiency without compromising the rigor that defines a Norwich education. This pathway is designed for students who want to graduate already in motion, carrying the discipline and confidence of graduate study into the next stage of their academic and professional journey.

The Sequential pathway creates a powerful bridge between undergraduate achievement and graduate momentum. By recognizing select undergraduate courses that meet graduate-level competencies, this pathway allows students to apply progress earned during their bachelor’s degree toward a future master’s program. Students who successfully complete these courses may be eligible to waive up to six graduate credits upon admission, thereby reducing the required coursework and tuition costs.

Just as importantly, completing a bachelor’s degree marks a clear transition point. Students finish not at the end of the road, but already positioned for what comes next. With no separate application required, the Sequential pathway rewards planning ahead and converts undergraduate success into immediate momentum toward a master’s degree.

For those who have already completed a bachelor’s degree, even if it was earned years ago or at an institution other than Norwich, opportunities may still exist to accelerate the path to a master’s degree. Norwich University’s generous transfer credit policy may allow previously completed coursework or relevant academic experience to be applied toward graduate study, reducing the required credits and time to completion. This option ensures that prior effort is recognized and that returning students can move forward efficiently without starting over.
