Accelerated Program for Current Loyola Undergraduates

All current, Loyola University Maryland students and students studying at one of our partner institutions are welcome to apply to the MA in Emerging Media graduate program beginning second semester junior year. The Accelerated Bachelor's to MA in Emerging Media Program streamlines the admission process provided that certain GPA requirements are met.

An accepted undergraduate student would then be permitted to take one online graduate course (ME 601 - Exploring Digital Culture) in the final semester of the senior year. The course can simultaneously count as an undergraduate elective and a graduate requirement for the MA program, with approval of an academic advisor. Students may then continue with the graduate program—either full or part-time—following undergraduate graduation.

Current seniors may apply via Fast Track during their final year, for early consideration into the graduate program. If accepted, students may begin the program beginning the summer following graduation.

  • Guaranteed consideration regardless of undergraduate major
  • 15% tuition Double Greyhound Alumni Discount (starting June 1, 2021)
