Lasell University Accelerated Masters (Double Lasers)
The Fifth Year Option at Lasell University allows undergraduate students with high academic standing to earn both their undergraduate and graduate degrees in as little as five (5) years.
The following programs are eligible for the Double Laser program:
Master of Business Administration (MBA)
Master in Education
Master of Science in Communication
Master of Science
Applied Sports Science Analytics
Students who wish to participate in the Double Laser program must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0
During each blended semester of Senior year, students complete their undergraduate degree requirements and simultaneously enroll in one graduate course (3 credits) that will count toward their master's degree. Students must earn a grade of B (3.0 GPA) in their graduate classes. (Note: Graduate course credits cannot be applied toward the fulfillment of the student's 120 undergraduate degree credit requirement.) In a blended semester, students are required to take a minimum of 12 undergraduate credits and one graduate course. In each blended semester, students are not permitted to enroll in more than 18 credits. There is no additional cost for graduate courses completed if the student abides by all above stipulations. Students may be eligible to waive two courses (6 credits) through undergraduate course waivers.
