History majors who are already thinking about pursuing an M.A. in history can speed up the process by applying some of their undergraduate credit hours toward a Master?s degree. The basic idea is to take three (3) graduate level courses (either 500?level with the additional graduate level assignments, or 600?level) while still an undergraduate, and then have those credits apply both toward the undergraduate degree and towards an eventual Master's degree from UofL. The advantages are in time and money. Paying undergraduate tuition for nine graduate hours saves almost $800, and reduces the time to M.A. by one full?time semester.
