The University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Department of Theatre & Dance houses theÌýBachelor's-ÌýAccelerated Master's (BAM) Degree ProgramÌýin Theatre.ÌýThisÌýis an accelerated degree track aimed primarily at high-achieving undergraduates who may be planning to pursue a PhDÌýat another institution or who wish to challenge themselves in advanced critical thinking.
Overview
The Bachelor’s–Accelerated Master’s (BAM) degree program offers currently-enrolledÌýÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder undergraduate students pursuing a bachelor's degree in Theatre the opportunity to earn a BA and MA in a shorter period of time. Students receive the bachelor’s degree first, but begin taking graduate coursework as undergraduates (typically in their senior year). A student can enter as a freshman Theatre Major and graduate with a BA in Theatre and an MA in Theatre and Performance Studies within a five-year period (dependent upon criteria described below). A student writing an Honors Thesis may use that project as the basis for developing the MA thesis, though this is not mandatory.Ìý
Benefits of the BAM
Because some courses are allowed to count towards both the bachelor’s and the master’s degrees, students receive a master’s degree in less time and at a lower cost than if they were to enroll in a standalone MA program after completion of their BA degree. In addition, staying at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder in a bachelor’s–accelerated master’s program enables students to continue working with their established faculty mentors.
