It is possible as a Patrick Leahy Honors College Scholar to complete an Accelerated Master's Program.
Patrick Leahy Honors College students who would like to work toward a master’s degree as an undergraduate have the option of meeting their six-credit thesis requirement—typically completed in the senior year—with six credits of master’s thesis work through one of the Accelerated Master’s Pathways (AMP) at UVM. Students who have completed all undergraduate degree requirements except for their six credits of thesis work, and who have formally accepted an admission offer to an AMP, may walk in the PLHC recognition ceremony. The Patrick Leahy Honors College will award these students the undergraduate Patrick Leahy Honors College Scholar distinction upon completion of their master’s thesis.
