Fast Track & Advanced Standing Graduate Program
Fast Track Programs
Fast tracks allow you to get a head start on your master’s degree before you finish your bachelor’s by applying undergraduate credits to your graduate degree plan.
Requirements
Be within 30 hours of completing a bachelor's degree with a GPA of at least 3.0. Some programs require a higher GPA or grades of at least B in core preparatory courses. Speak to your bachelor’s degree advisor and the graduate advisor for the master’s degree you’re considering and inform them of your interest. While finishing your bachelor’s degree, complete specified graduate courses that double as advanced undergraduate electives and earn grades of B or better.
In most cases, you will be offered admission to the master’s program without additional requirements or submitting an application.
Advanced Standing Programs
These programs are for students who want to obtain bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the same field of study.
Requirements
Admission requires completing the bachelor’s degree in your field of study with a GPA of at least 3.0. An application for admission must be submitted along with other requirements for the program, which could include essays, portfolios, test scores, or letters of recommendation. During your last year as an undergraduate, contact the graduate advisor for your master’s program. They can help you submit the required application materials and advise you on the reduced coursework required for your master’s degree.
