Registration

Once accepted into the AMP program, you must register for graduate classes using the Undergraduate Registration in Graduate Classes form. You cannot register for 500-level classes in UAccess student center when you are an undergraduate and must use the form.

Degree Requirements

What happens when I graduate with my bachelor’s degree?

AMP students must apply to the MS program in their final (senior) year. The application fee will automatically be waived if you already paid the application fee when you applied to the AMP.

That means you must apply twice: 

1) to the AMP program, to participate in double-dipped graduate classes your senior year and 

2) to the MS program during your senior year, before you graduate with your bachelor’s degree.

Following graduation from the BSIS, you move into the Master of Science in Information Science degree.
