Application
Students interested in AMP must complete the following steps:
- Meet with the AMP advisor for the program of interest. The AMP advisor will walk you through any program-specific eligibility requirements or actions.
- If the AMP advisor determines that you meet their program’s requirements, they’ll work with you to develop a tentative plan of study that identifies up to 22 graduate-level credits that will apply toward the graduate degree and include additional planned courses for the graduate degree. The plan must be signed by the graduate advisor. Your AMP advisor will provide the form. This does not replace the Program of Study.
- The AMP advisor will then recommend you for university-level review by the graduate admissions office. If approved, the graduate admissions office will issue an AMP Student Agreement form for your signature. Once signed, admission to the undergraduate portion of AMP is complete.
- At the beginning of the final term as an undergraduate, you’ll submit a graduate application via the graduate admissions application website.
The application fee will be waived.
