The Husson 4+1 Program |

What is the Husson 4+1 Program?
Unity College has an agreement with Husson University which provides students an opportunity to accelerate progress towards a Master of Science in Business degree or Masters of Science in Criminal Justice Administration degree. Simply put, if you complete another year of schooling with Husson you may earn a Master degree.
How it works?
Students earn the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science from Unity College. During your fourth year at Unity you would complete one undergraduate course with additional approved work in the fall term and one in the spring. Additionally a six credit internship or course work is completed during the summer after you graduate Unity prior to your Fall semester at Husson. In the additional year, students take graduate course work through Husson University.
The two undergraduate courses you take with additional work at Unity College must be designated 4000 level courses. You need to meet the general requirements in the 4000-level course and complete a project that represents beginning graduate level work. The specific project requirements will be established by the course instructor prior to the start of the course and will include at a minimum a research paper, presentation, or similar academic work.

Once students are conditionally accepted to one of the Husson University programs, a verification letter will be sent to the registrar’s office at Unity College. You will be notified when a letter is received. No course work toward the Husson University programs may begin until you meet with the registrar.
If you are interested in completing a master’s degree in this five year program you will need to apply for admission to either the Husson University M.S. in Business program or the Criminal Justice Administration program in the second semester of your junior year.
The admissions requirements include: a completed application, two letters of recommendation and submission of transcript (with student consent) for all undergraduate course work completed to date.
