Accelerated Dual-Degree BS/MS in Accounting (3+1) Tuition and Financial Aid

Accelerated dual-degree programs are designed to be the most efficient way to complete both your degrees, but we understand that college is still a big investment. That’s why we’re committed to helping you make your Quinnipiac education affordable. Whether it’s through grants, scholarships, loans or a job, we’ll help you explore every option and make a plan that works for you.

Program Costs and Budgets

Students in our accelerated dual-degree program pay the undergraduate tuition rate for four years of study based on the year they entered as a first-year student, in addition to applicable fees. Your Quinnipiac merit scholarships will remain available to you throughout your graduate degree program. 

Course overload fees are waived during the Fall and Spring semesters for students in accelerated dual-degree programs up to 19 credits per term (or up to 20 credits per term for up to two semesters for students engaging in a study abroad program). Summer and/or January term courses may be required to earn the accelerated graduate degree and are also offered at no cost to students in accelerated dual-degree programs.*

  • Direct costs are expenses for which you receive a billing statement from the Quinnipiac Office of Student Accounts such as tuition, student fees, university/technology fees, accident insurance, health insurance and other applicable fees.

  • Indirect costs are expenses that you may incur but for which you do not receive a billing statement such as average for books, supplies, transportation, and miscellaneous expenses and off-campus living expenses.

Complete your Entrance Counseling and Master Promissory Note (MPN) online for federal loans

  • Student Borrowers: If you will be attending Quinnipiac’s undergraduate programs, and are a first-time student borrower of federal loans, the government requires you to complete an online Entrance Counseling Session (a short question/answer session regarding educational borrowing) and sign an electronic promise to repay your loans called a Master Promissory Note (MPN). The loan proceeds cannot disburse to the university on your behalf until the requirements are completed on the Federal Student Aid website, studentaid.gov. The process can be accessed 24 hours a day and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
