BAM Program

The Department of Indo-Pacific Languages & Literatures & Asian Studies are proud to introduce the new BAM Program. It is a pathway that helps students earn a BA in Philippine Language and Culture (PLC) and an MA in Asian Studies in five years. Students may double-count relevant credits towards both their undergraduate and graduate degrees and earn graduate-level credits at the undergraduate tuition rate, essentially saving time and money.

Admission 

Apply for admission to the Master's program during the second semester of junior year, or in the first semester of senior year and begin taking double-counted 600-level courses.

Requirements 

As part of the BA/MA program, students must demonstrate at least 302-proficiency in Filipino or Ilokano.
