Program structure for U-M undergraduates

The Accelerated Master’s Degree Program (AMDP) allows high-performing University of Michigan–Ann Arbor undergraduates from any school or college to pursue a Master of Science in Information degree in as few as three academic terms. 

Degree requirements

The MSI normally consists of 48 credits. Through the AMDP, you will complete a reduced requirement of 39 credits of graduate-level coursework to earn your degree:

  • Core courses
  • Mastery prerequisites 
  • Mastery course
  • Internship option

Internship option

Through the UMSI internship courses, AMDP students are able to earn up to 9 course credits. Students typically complete an internship for credit in the summer between their second and third term of the MSI degree.

International students: You have several options for seeking work authorization to pursue an internship. We recommend meeting with a CDO advisor early to better understand the options available to you.
