Accelerated Bachelor's/Master's Degree Requirements

The Accelerated Bachelor's/Master’s (ABM) degree program allows exceptional undergraduate students at NC State an opportunity to complete the requirements for both the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at an accelerated pace. These undergraduate students may double count up to 12 credits and obtain a non-thesis Master’s degree in the same field within 12 months of completing the Bachelor’s degree,

This degree program also provides an opportunity for the Directors of Graduate Programs (DGPs) at NC State to recruit rising juniors in their major to their graduate programs. However, permission to pursue an ABM degree program does not guarantee admission to the Graduate School. Admission is contingent on meeting eligibility requirements at the time of entering the graduate program.

Students must complete a total of 30 credit hours to complete the degree.  Students who have already taken the 400 level of a course required for the master degree will be required to replace the hours with Advised Electives. Students will choose a specialization area in either upstream or downstream. 

A 150 hour internship is required to complete the degree.

Degrees earned will be distributed as: "Master of Biomanufacturing" without a subplan designation.
