Complete your Bachelor's and Master's Degree in One Accelerated Pathway

What are East Bay FAST programs?

  • Start your master's program while an undergraduate student.
  • Complete graduate courses that double-count toward both your undergraduate and graduate degrees.
  • Pay undergraduate tuition for graduate courses (until you meet the units needed for your bachelor's degree).
  • Avoid the Cal State Apply master's application and its fees.

Our East Bay FAST programs merge existing baccalaureate and master's degree programs in similar disciplines into a single pathway. We will double count a specified number of units (no more than 12) in both programs so you can earn your graduate degree faster and with less cost! Across the U.S., programs like our East Bay FAST programs are known as 4+1 or Blended programs.
