Accelerated Master's programs

Earn your degree faster with accelerated Master's programs. Norwich's Accelerated Master's programs allow you to earn your graduate degree in as little as one year after completing your undergraduate degree. Earn your bachelor’s and master’s degrees in less time, advancing your education.

By completing graduate coursework in your senior year for dual credit, you’ll streamline your educational journey and easily transition from an undergraduate degree to a graduate degree.

For a complete list of our online Master's program offerings, please visit our College of Graduate and Continuing Studies.

Master of Architecture (M.Arch.)

Norwich offers a one-year program for students who have a previous Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts Degree in Architecture, and a longer program for students with a baccalaureate degree in any non-architecture field. Both programs require that previously earned degrees were granted by an accredited institution.
