You might be thinking about taking your education to the next level. The University of Cincinnati has a pathway to help you do just that.
The College of Arts and Sciences has no fewer than 15 five-year programs - from biological sciences to Spanish to psychology - where you can earn both your bachelor's and master's degrees in just five years compared to the traditional six-year track.
The Bachelor's and Master's 4 + 1 Program is designed to increase your marketability and deepen your understanding of the subject matter. And in an increasingly competitive job market, you may want to investigate an additional year of study.
Although the program works well for particular students, there are still benefits to the traditional two-year master's model, Torner said.
"Different students move at different speeds," he said.
Students considering enrolling in a 4+1 master's program should speak with the undergraduate director of that program first.
