Traditionally, a bachelor’s degree requires four years to complete and a master’s degree requires an additional year or two. However, academically strong and motivated students may enroll in one of Miami Herbert’s accelerated or dual degree programs, which allow students to earn both their bachelor’s and master’s degrees in a much shorter time—saving them time and money. Take a moment to consider the options.
