5-year Programs

 

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.
