Students typically apply during their junior or senior year, continue their undergraduate coursework, and transition directly into master&#8217;s-level coursework without a gap year or separate admissions cycle.<\/p>\n<p>This pathway goes by several names depending on where you encounter it. USC&#8217;s central academic programs office calls it a Progressive Degree Program. You may also hear it described as a 5-year BS\/MS, a 4+1, or an accelerated degree. All of these describe the same core idea: finishing a bachelor&#8217;s and a master&#8217;s degree faster than you could by pursuing them separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n\n          <div class=\"image-container\">\n            \n<div class=\"f--field f--image\">\n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n              \n      <img\n                            data-src=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/08\/Progressive-Degree-2-768x768.jpg\"\n          data-srcset=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/08\/Progressive-Degree-2.jpg 1280w,https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/08\/Progressive-Degree-2-768x768.jpg 768w\"          data-sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 50vw, (min-width:768px) 100vw, 100vw\"          class=\"lazyload\"\n        \n                alt=\"USC students sitting around a table outside.\"\n\n        \n                \n                                      \/>\n\n    \n    \n  \n  \n\n<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    \n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--featured-block light-gray\"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--featured-block\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"text-image-container\">\n    <div class=\"text-container\">\n\n      \n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title has-stripe\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Why Pursue a Progressive Degree at Keck?\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--description description-medium\">\n\n    \n  <p>\u2022 <strong>Save time<\/strong>.
