Requirements for Accelerated Programs
Considered Junior or Senior standing
MOL +1 Program
This program is designed for qualified undergraduate students who wish to begin graduate-level coursework before completing their bachelor’s degree.
Through this pathway, eligible juniors and seniors may take up to six credit hours (two graduate courses) that will count toward the MOL degree. These courses are completed during the undergraduate program and will jumpstart a student's career path immediately after graduating.
+1 for Two Degrees
Our College of Education +1 Program lets you complete up to 25% of your graduate coursework during your undergraduate studies, putting you just one year away from your master's degree after graduation.
Take 2-3 graduate courses in most programs, or dive deeper with our Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program, where you can complete up to 13 credit hours of graduate work as an undergraduate. That means you'll have approximately one full-time year of classes remaining to earn your master's degree.

You can customize your degree to fit your interest by adding a concentration such as Youth Ministry, Pastoral Ministry, Media Ministry, Preaching, Missions, Apologetics, Women's Ministry, Biblical Studies, as well as Apologetics and Theology. During your sophomore year, provided you have at least a 3.0 GPA and pastoral recommendation, you can apply to begin FAST TRACK courses. These select courses can be articulated as Graduate Level courses. You may take up to 30 credit hours of FAST TRACK courses.
