Undergraduate finance students at Penn State Abington can take advantage of the Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate (IUG) degree program in conjunction with the Master of Finance at Penn State Great Valley. 

Key Program Benefits

  • Save money by paying the undergraduate tuition rate for your entire graduate degree.
  • Earn your bachelor’s and master’s degrees in as little as five and a half years. You can take graduate courses full-time or part-time, completing your master's degree in as little as 15 months, or take up to eight years.

For example, if you will graduate from your undergraduate program in the spring, your application to the Graduate School must be submitted by the second week of the preceding fall semester.
  • Students must have completed at least 60 credits to apply.
  • Transfer students must have completed at least 15 credits at Penn State.

Advising and Registering for IUG Classes

Before graduating from your undergraduate program, you will have two advisors: your current undergraduate advisor and Dr. Patrick Qiang, who will serve as your graduate program advisor. Dr. Qiang will remain your advisor after you complete your undergraduate program and will review your progress periodically as you advance through the program.

IUG students cannot enroll in graduate courses by themselves through LionPATH. Please contact [email protected] to enroll in IUG graduate courses and to submit an IUG report after you complete each graduate course to ensure your academic record is updated correctly.
