Overview

The University of Oklahoma Department of English is excited to offer exceptional students with the opportunity to earn their Master's Degree alongside their BA in an acclerated timeframe, with this English - Literary and Cultural Studies (BA-MA).

Following a simultaneous ADP (Accelerated Degree Program) model, the program requires 30 hours of coursework to be completed alongside the undergraduate major requirements in English.

Students will share 6 hours of coursework between their undergraduate and graduate coursework, taken during their senior year.

During a fifth and final year, students will complete the remaining 24 hours of graduate coursework.

ABOUT THE SIMULTANEOUS ACCELERATED DEGREE PROGRAM MODEL

The undergraduate and graduate degrees are conferred at the same time.

A student in a simultaneous ADP is considered an undergraduate student for the duration of the program. They may hold an undergraduate assistantship but will not become eligible to hold a graduate assistantship or receive graduate-level tuition waivers or health subsidy benefits.
After admission to a simultaneous ADP, the student must meet all requirements and deadlines for the master’s degree outlined in this bulletin.
The Graduate College graduate degree management specialist and the undergraduate college advisor will work together to verify the student has fulfilled all requirements for both degrees before clearing them for either degree.
A student in a simultaneous ADP who does not complete the bachelor’s degree will not be awarded the accelerated graduate degree, regardless of the amount or quality of graduate work completed.
A student in a simultaneous ADP who decides not to complete the accelerated master’s degree is responsible for notifying their undergraduate and graduate advisors and requesting to be changed to the stand-alone bachelor’s degree major code.
