Accelerated Degree Programs

The Accelerated Degree programs offered at Pitt Business put students on the fast track to earning a graduate degree in a professional field. Designed for highly motivated, professionally driven individuals, these programs take advantage of the academic partnerships of the University of Pittsburgh.

In addition to saving on the most valuable resource — time — participating students reduce their tuition expenses, gain an advanced degree, and enhance their professional experience. This is another way we take students from the classroom, to the city, to the world.

BSBA/MS in Accounting Program

Offered with the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business, the 3+1 BSBA/MAcc program enables freshmen who enter Pitt Business with at least 15 advanced standing college credits to earn their BSBA and a master’s degree in accounting in only four years. Merit scholarships are available to make the cost equal to as if the student was earning only his or her undergraduate degree.

To participate, students must apply and be accepted into the School of Law during their junior year in the business school.
