With our 4+1 programs, you can delve deep into two disciplines you’re passionate about and graduate with both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in just 5 years.
Students earning any undergraduate degree at the University of Denver with a 3.5 GPA are eligible to apply.
Eligible Programs
Five of our master’s programs offer the 4+1 dual-degree option:
Accountancy 3/2 Program
The School of Accountancy also offers a 3/2 program that allows students to earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree in 5 years.
Why join a 4+1 program?
- Earn your graduate degree faster and at lower cost. You can take up to 20 credits of master’s degree coursework during your senior year, and your total cost will be less than if you earned your master’s outside of the 4+1 structure.
- Earn your bachelor’s degree with less credits. You’ll need 12 fewer credits to earn your undergraduate degree.
- Develop an interdisciplinary skillset and be a stronger job candidate. Employers value graduates with interdisciplinary skills. You can earn your undergraduate degree in one discipline and a master’s in another. Combine a bachelor’s in real estate and the built environment with a master’s in management, for example, to stand out as a leader in the construction field.
- No GMAT, GRE or application fee will be required to apply to your graduate program.

Options for Seniors
If you’ve already earned 135 credits, you no longer qualify for the 4+1 program. However, if you have a GPA of at least 3.0, you’re eligible to apply for specialty master’s programs through Daniels’ Master’s Accelerated Admission Process. MAAP allows you to waive the GMAT or GRE requirement and application fee for specialized master’s programs.
“Having an undergraduate degree in one discipline and obtaining a graduate degree in another will greatly enhance your expertise and benefit your career. For example, after getting a MS in Finance degree you can become a financial analyst for your undergraduate major industry.”
