Potential to complete both the bachelor's and master's degrees in five total years (3+2 academic plan), provided student meets all prerequisites, progression standards requirements and program has received all required approvals.
2. Transfer to Carroll to complete an undergraduate degree and meet all prerequisites and progression standards prior to beginning the MSAT program
3. Currently have an undergraduate degree and meet all program prerequisites
