Double Warrior Benefits
REDUCED TUITION.*
Current Merrimack undergraduate seniors and recent graduates can automatically save 33% off the tuition for master’s degrees at Merrimack if you start your program within 2 terms of your graduation date. For other alumni with earlier graduation dates, a Double Warior discount rate of 25% will apply.
ACCELERATED APPLICATION. **
The recommendations and personal statement requirements on your graduate application will be waived.
START EARLY, FINISH EARLY. ***
Are you a current Merrimack undergraduate student? Then you have the option of taking up to 8 free graduate credits during your senior undergraduate year, which are covered by the Double Warrior program. The Double Warrior scholarship rate will still be applied for your remaining graduate credits should you enroll in an eligible master’s degree program. This helps you get a head start on getting an advanced degree and boosting your earning potential sooner.
For a 32 credit program, you'll SAVE ALMOST 50% on your total master's degree tuition if you complete 8 free credits and then receive a 33% discount for the remainder of your program!
“I chose to stay at Merrimack for graduate degrees because it came to be my home. I trusted the professors and staff to help prepare me for the industry I hoped to join post-grad.”
