Graduate School Programs

The University of Memphis offers various graduate programs, including Master's, Doctoral, and Law School programs. Additionally, the university provides Graduate Certificate Programs and an Accelerated Bachelors/Master's Program.

Accelerated Bachelors/Master's Program

The Accelerated Bachelor to Master (ABM) Program allows qualified undergraduates to simultaneously earn credits toward completion of both bachelor's and master's degrees. Students may earn up to 12 graduate credit hours toward the requirements of both their undergraduate and graduate degrees.

Eligibility

Please see the Undergraduate Catalog for qualifications for acceptance into ABM programs.

Program Requirements

To participate in the ABM program, students must follow these steps:

• The student must receive an invitation or sponsorship from a program faculty member and the undergraduate advisor.
  • The student must then meet with their academic advisor to discuss program requirements to ascertain if minimum qualifications have been met for entry into the program,
  • Thereafter, all other program/departmental/school/college approvals must be obtained.
• The ABM departmental approver will contact the Graduate School, requesting the addition of the ABM designation to the student's record, noting which starting term and year the designation needs to be active.
  • The ABM departmental approver will complete and sign the ABM Request Form, including only the student's planned classes with open registration.
• The ABM departmental approver submits the completed ABM Request Form to the student's graduation analyst in their program of study for review and signature.
  • The analyst then forwards the ABM form to the Registrar's Office for processing.

Registration and Grading

Once the ABM Request Form is approved, the advisor issues an ABM Permit to the student so that he or she may register for a graduate-level course. Students without permits will receive a level restriction block from registering for graduate courses.

Upon registration to the graduate-level course, the undergraduate-level course equivalent will be added to the student record and appear as 'in progress' until the end of the term. Upon completion of the course, standard grades and credit hours will be applied to the graduate-level course, and a grade of 'S' (Satisfactory) or 'U' (Unsatisfactory) will be applied to the undergraduate-level equivalent course. If at any time the student withdraws from the graduate-level ABM course, receiving a 'W' (Withdrawal) grade, a 'W' will also be applied to the undergraduate-level equivalent course.

Tuition

Undergraduate level tuition will be assessed for both undergraduate and graduate courses for an undergraduate level student who is taking part in the ABM program.
