The 5-year Option
The
University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point offers students in the following
programs the opportunity to earn both a bachelor's and master's degree
in five years. Through the 5-year Option, students work with their
academic advisor to plan a five-year program of study. The program is
intended for students for whom the master's degree is sufficient
preparation for their career goals, desirable as a goal itself, or
viewed as additional preparation before pursuing a doctorate or a
professional degree.
The areas of study available for the 5-year
Option at UW-Stevens Point are determined by individual departments and
programs, who also determine the policies, degree requirements and
admissions criteria to be followed. Students will be admitted to the
5-year Option by approval of the department or program. Please note:
there is no provision for obtaining both degrees in a period shorter
than five years.
