41个程序允许合格的公共政策专业学生在满足公共政策学士学位要求的同时，完成城市事务和公共政策硕士学位，公共管理硕士或历史保护硕士学位。这些加速的组合课程使学生能够在五年内完成本科和研究生学位课程，从而将通常的时间减少了一年。在三年级的秋季，在完成至少60个学士学位的学分后，可以考虑将合格的公共政策专业作为4 1课程的一部分。进入41计划的学生将完成公共政策学士学位的所有要求，但要遵循一个学习计划，其中包括完成专业要求所必需的课程的高级部分，并提供研究生学位的高级地位。
The 4 plus 1 programs allow qualified Public Policy majors to complete either an M.A. in Urban Affairs and Public Policy, a Master of Public Administration, or a M.A. in Historic Preservation degree while fulfilling requirements for the B.A. in Public Policy. These accelerated, combined programs enable students to complete both the undergraduate and graduate degree in five years, essentially reducing the typical time by one year. In the fall of the junior year, after the completion of at least 60 credits towards the B.A. degree, well-qualified Public Policy majors may be considered for the 4 plus 1 programs. Students admitted to a 4 plus1 program will complete all the requirements for the B.A. in Public Policy, but follow a plan of study that includes advanced sections of the courses needed to complete the requirements for the major and provided advanced standing for the graduate degree. Application and program requirements are available at the website for the School of Public Policy and Administration.
