Fast Track Program to a Master’s Degree

The Fast Track Program enables outstanding senior undergraduate students in several disciplines to satisfy up to nine hours of graduate coursework while completing their undergraduate studies.

When senior-level students are within 30 hours of completing their undergraduate degree requirements, they may take up to nine hours of graduate level coursework designated by the program to satisfy both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements, significantly reducing the time needed to earn a Master’s degree. Interested undergraduate students should discuss this option with their advisors. Information for requirements for specific departments can be found in the department section of the University catalog or in department offices.

At this time, there are Fast Track programs in the following undergraduate programs:

  • Aerospace Engineering leading to an M.S. Degree in Aerospace Engineering
  • Biochemistry leading to an M.S. Degree in Biomedical Engineering
  • Biomedical Engineering leading to an M.S. Degree in Biomedical Engineering
  • Civil Engineering leading to a Master of Engineering Degree in Civil Engineering
  • Civil Engineering leading to an M.S. Degree in Civil Engineering
  • Computer Engineering leading to an M.S. Degree in Computer Engineering
  • Computer Science leading to an M.S. Degree in Computer Science
  • Electrical Engineering leading to an M.S. Degree in Electrical Engineering
  • Industrial Engineering leading to an M.S. Degree in Industrial Engineering
  • Mathematics leading to an M.S. Degree in Biomedical Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering leading to an M.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering leading to an M.S. Degree in Materials Science and Engineering
  • Physics leading to an M.S. Degree in Materials Science and Engineering
  • Physics leading to an M.S. Degree in Biomedical Engineering
  • Software Engineering leading to a Master of Software Engineering

Fast Track Program to a Master’s Degree

The Fast Track Program enables outstanding senior undergraduate engineering students to receive undergraduate and graduate credit for up to six hours of coursework, leading to a Master’s degree in just one year after completion of a bachelor’s degree.

Students interested in the Fast Track Master’s Degree program should speak to their academic advisor to learn how to apply for admission to the program when they are within 30 hours of completing their bachelor’s degree (and before graduation).

Details for specific majors can be found in the undergraduate catalog or by speaking to an academic advisor.
