Double Warrior Benefits

REDUCED TUITION. *

Current Merrimack undergraduate seniors can automatically save 33% off the total tuition for most online and on-campus master’s degrees at Merrimack* if you start your graduate program in 2024. For other alumni and all later entry terms, the standard Double Warrior 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.

“I had such a valuable undergraduate experience at Merrimack. So when I needed a more concrete business education to help me unlock additional opportunities in my career development, I trusted the College’s graduate programs without hesitation.”
