How to Apply to the AMP Program

1. Speak with the program director of the MBA program eligibility. Email: gsba@uccs.edu to set up a meeting.
2. Talk with your undergraduate advisor about your interest in the program as soon as possible. You can schedule an appointment with your advisor in the Student Success Network. 
3. It is a good idea to talk to your advisor so you can reserve potential elective space for AMP classes.

If you have successfully met with your advisor and you have spoken with the program advisor and it has been determined that you meet the requirements for AMP, your next step is to complete the Intent Application. This application states that you currently intent and are eligible to begin taking dual counting courses during your bachelor's degree. (Reminder: Completing the AMP Intent Application DOES NOT admit you into the Graduate School and/or AMP.)

After submitting your Intent Application, it will be reviewed by the MBA Program Office. Once your application is approved:

• Enroll in your dual-counting courses approved by your program advisor and undergraduate advisor. 
• Your undergraduate advisor will ask you to speak with the MBA program advisor to determine which graduate level courses to take. 
• Pro tip: It is important to check with your MBA program advisor each time you are planning to enroll in graduate level courses.  Programs have specific guidelines and policies on how many graduate level courses can be taken at the undergraduate level.  It is important you follow these policies and always check with your program to ensure your courses can dual count.

During your Junior or Senior year of coursework, it is important you pay attention to application deadlines for our UCCS graduate programs. You should:

• Check the application requirements for your UCCS Graduate School application and make a plan to complete those requirements.
• Apply to the Graduate program using the online UCCS Graduate School application.
• After submitting your Graduate School application, please email gradinfo@uccs.edu to let us know you have submitted your graduate school application. We will check to make sure your admission checklist is correct!

(Remember, completing the AMP Intent Application DOES NOT admit you into the Graduate School. As an AMP student, you are still required to follow all application deadlines for UCCS Graduate Programs to ensure your application will be considered for admission.)

• If you have been admitted to AMP, graduate-level courses taken during your undergrad will count towards both your bachelor's and master's degree requirements.
• You should also:
  • Apply for Undergraduate Graduation
  • Finish your bachelor’s degree requirements and graduate!

• When completing your Intent Application for AMP, you acknowledged that you are expected to be continually enrolled (Fall and Spring semester) from undergraduate to graduate degree for courses to double count towards both degrees. You should work with your program advisor to register in classes for the following Fall or Spring semester after you graduate. 
• If you graduated in Spring, you should enroll in courses during the following Fall semester. If you graduated in Fall, you should enroll in courses during the following Spring semester. 

When completing your UCCS Graduate School application, it is important you select “Accelerated Master’s Program” when completing your application. Please follow these steps:

1. If you are interested in applying as an Accelerated Master’s Pathway student, please confirm with your department that you are eligible to apply using the Accelerated Masters Pathway application. For a full list of graduate contacts, please click HERE. 
2. After answering the questions at the beginning of the application, you will get to the following questions a few pages into your application. Use these steps to complete the Accelerated Master's Pathway Application:
   1. Have you ever attended UCCS or any other University of Colorado campus before? Select “Yes”. Did you graduate from UCCS or are you a current UCCS student? Select “Yes”. Click “Next”. After clicking Next, the application will ask which semester you intend on completing a application for. Select your desired start semester. Click “Next”.
   2. On the next page, you will be asked if you will be using the Accelerated Masters Pathway application. (If a program also participates in the Streamlined Application, this option may be an option as well. The Streamlined Application is an application pathway for current or recent UCCS graduates who may not have participated in AMP). Be sure to select “Accelerated Master’s Pathway” in the dropdown box. Then click “Next”.
   3. Next, you will be asked to confirm that you are eligible for and approved by the graduate department to apply as an AMP applicant. If you have not confirmed this with your graduate department, please circle-back to the Step-by-Step AMP process section on this page. If you have been approved, select “Yes”. Then click “Next” and complete the remaining portions of the application.
