Penn State Altoona offers opportunities for students to pursue graduate degrees through Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate (IUG) programs and accelerated placement programs. These programs combine a bachelor's degree with an advanced degree as a continuous program of study. These programs let most students:
- complete a master's degree in a shortened time period compared to completing the degrees sequentially,
- have earlier interactions with the rigors of graduate education and begin building connections with graduate faculty, and
- network with graduate students with similar career interests.
