Accelerated Master’s Degree in Hospitality Management

Undergraduate students at UM that are interested in graduate study in Hospitality Management can get a head start through the Accelerated Master’s Degree Program. 

Undergraduate students that would like to qualify for the Accelerated Master's Degree Program must meet the following requirements:

  • 3.0 minimum GPA overall
  • 90 completed credit hours as an undergraduate

Number of credit hours a student can earn towards the graduate degree while completing their undergraduate studies:

  • 15 credit hours

Courses undergraduate students in the Accelerated Master's Degree Program can take to earn credit towards the graduate degree:

Remember: Students who fail to reserve 500-level courses for graduate credit at the time they take the course will not receive graduate credit for the course (graduate level work must be completed to earn graduate credit). 

  • Reserving graduate credit with 500-level courses is required to ensure the Graduate School and instructor know the student must complete graduate credit requirements for the course. 
  • Students cannot later claim graduate credit for 500-level courses if they did not take the appropriate steps to notify the Graduate School prior to taking the course.
