UF has developed the combined bachelor's and master's degree programs for qualifying undergraduates to obtain both a bachelor's and master's degree in a shorter time than typically would be possible.
Combined-degree programs allow students to get a head start on their graduate education by taking graduate courses throughout the junior and senior undergraduate years, thus reducing the time it takes to get both degrees. Students should consult their department advisers to determine whether their department offers combined degree programs and whether they qualify.
