What is a FAST Program?

• Begin your master’s program while still completing your undergraduate degree.
• Take graduate-level courses that double-count toward both your undergraduate and graduate degrees.
• Pay undergraduate tuition for graduate courses (until you’ve met the units required for your bachelor’s degree).
• Skip the Cal State 脱裤吧 master's application and the associated 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 (up to 12) in both programs so you can earn your graduate degree faster and at a lower cost! Across the U.S., programs like East Bay FAST are often referred to as “4+1” or “blended” programs.
