Illinois Tech's Accelerated Master's Program (AMP) is available for students at the Mumbai campus. In AMP, you can earn earn both your undergraduate and master's degrees in as few as five years (instead of six). Bonus: your undergraduate tuition rate applies to your graduate courses. Not only will you broaden your skills in two disciplines, but you'll also save on tuition over the course of your studies.
There are two AMP options. The first, the Co-Terminal AMP, is geared toward undergraduate students who have at least 12 credits left toward their bachelor's degrees. The Advanced Standing AMP option is geared toward students who have fewer than 12 credits left to complete or to alumni who have graduated within the past three years.
How AMP Works (Co-Terminal Option)
Third-year students are ideal candidates for the co-terminal option, as it requires the completion of at least 60 credits. For transfer students, at least 12 credits must have been completed at Illinois Tech.
You can combine any of the undergraduate bachelor's programs in Mumbai with any of the master's programs offered in Mumbai. Work with your adviser to select your own pairing that matches your interests. Nine shared credits will apply toward both of your degrees.
To participate as a co-terminal student, you must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Must be in good academic standing with the university
- You must not have applied for degree conferral (i.e., graduation) at the time of the co-terminal application
- Must have completed at least 60 credits and have no fewer than 12 undergraduate credits remaining at the start of the co-terminal program
- Your co-terminal course pairing must be approved prior to starting the course of study
- Minimum 3.0 GPA required; students with a GPA lower than the minimum may still be eligible with a letter of recommendation from their undergraduate academic adviser
