Combined (Fast Track) BA-MPA Program
The Combined BA-MPA program enables exceptional Harpur students pursuing certain majors to complete their undergraduate degree and a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree in five years. This program is for students interested in pursuing public service careers in public management or public policy with an emphasis on local government and nonprofit organizations.
Combined Degree Program in Mathematics (BA) and Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Mathematics Adolescence Education, Grades 7-12
This program combines the undergraduate program in mathematics (BA) and the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program. The combined program provides an opportunity for a limited number of outstanding liberal arts students to graduate in five years with a mathematics BA and an MAT degree. The number of mathematics courses in the combined program is the same as for the BA and MAT done separately. Additional Information is available at: http://gradschool.binghamton.edu/ps/combineddegrees.asp.
Combined Degree Programs in Science: BA / MAT and BS / MAT
The special combined 3/2 BA/MAT (biology, chemistry, earth science and physics) and 3/2 BS (earth science only)/MAT programs accommodate the needs of a select group of Harpur College students who wish to efficiently combine an undergraduate science degree with a graduate level teacher certification program. Students should declare their interest in this option as soon as possible to insure proper undergraduate course selection. This combined program includes the entire current Harpur science BA (or BS) degree program and the current NYSED registered MAT (biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics programs). The combination results from the inclusion of 16 credits of graduate education coursework as “double-counted” electives during the students’ fourth year of study. The combined program saves the student one semester of time relative to the separate, sequentially taken BA/BS and MAT degrees.

Individualized Major Program
Through the Individualized Major Program, Harpur College students may design a program of study not presently available within the established university structure. These innovative majors must be academically sound, must show breadth and depth, and must provide a theoretical and conceptual framework for a particular course of study. Acceptable majors are interdisciplinary and typically combine courses from three or more disciplines.
