History, BA/Juris Doctor, JD
These accelerated baccalaureate and higher-level programs are intended for Dyson bachelor of arts and bachelor of science students with superior academic ability who wish to earn a bachelor's degree and a higher level degree (select MA, MS, or Juris Doctor) in less time than is normally required.
Because these accelerated programs require that graduate credits (12 - 24 depending on program) are taken in undergraduate senior year, undergraduate candidates must demonstrate that they can meet the requirements and rigors of both undergraduate and graduate study in a compressed time period. They also must satisfy separate admission requirements for both parts of the program, and admission to the undergraduate part of the program does not guarantee admission to the program's graduate part.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria
Official transcripts, diplomas, and leaving examination scores from secondary and post-secondary schools (in English).
A Written Essay/Personal Statement
One essay/personal statement, approximately 250-650 words in length, which will assist the Admission Committee in reviewing your application. The essay/personal statement you submit must consist solely of your own original work. You may write on a subject of your choice or one of the following subjects:
- Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
- The lessons we take from failure can be fundamental to later success. Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
- Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?
- Describe a problem you have solved or a problem you'd like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma-anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.
- Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.
- Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?
- Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, or one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.
