Unified Bachelor’s - Master’s program

An Accelerated Degree Program for Current Undergraduate Students

What is a Unified Bachelor’s - Master’s program?
Our Unified Bachelor's - Master's program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to earn both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in just five years. This program, specifically designed for creative innovators, provides a seamless pathway to enhance your education and career prospects. During the first four years of your Bachelor's program at your host university, you will have the chance to start taking master-level courses as early as your freshman year, depending on the partnership agreement between your host university and CMKL University. This unique integration allows you to explore advanced topics and gain a head start on your Master's degree while completing your Bachelor's studies. The credits earned from these courses will count towards both degrees, saving you time and effort in the long run. In your fifth year, you will fully transition to CMKL University, where you will take several master-level courses and engage in a TCI (Technology and Creative Innovation) Capstone Project. This final year is dedicated to deepening your understanding of cutting-edge technologies and honing your creative skills through hands-on projects. Upon successful completion of the program, you will receive a Bachelor's Degree from your host university and a Master of Science in Technology and Creative Innovation from CMKL University.
Benefits of the Unified Program
  • Students will earn a Bachelor's Degree from their host or partner university, and a Master of Science in Technology and Creative Innovation from CMKL University upon completion of the accelerated program.
  • Students will also be able to access CMKL AI Innovation ecosystem resources, including the APEX supercomputer to enable computation at scale, and join various activities at CMKL to enhance their creativity!
