» Integrated Graduate Programs

If you’re currently in an undergraduate program at Chapman University, you can start working on your master’s degree while completing your bachelor’s degree by applying to an Integrated program.

These programs let you earn your master’s degree in as little as one additional year of coursework on top of your bachelor’s degree. 

Am I Eligible?
Only current Chapman sophomores and juniors are eligible to apply for Integrated programs. If you are a Chapman senior or have already graduated college, you’ll want to check our regular graduate programs.

How do Integrated Programs Work?

  • Apply during your junior year. (Sophomore year for the MA in Curriculum and Instruction program.)
  • Start taking graduate coursework during your senior year.
  • Complete one additional year of graduate coursework after completing your bachelor’s degree.

Which Master’s Programs Offer an Integrated Option at Chapman?

For Matthew, the reward of earning an Integrated master's is worth the challenge as he combines an Integrated MS in Computational and Data Sciences degree with the BS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology that he earned at Chapman.
