Program Completion
Continuation
If at any time an undergraduate fast track student falls below the 3.00 GPA requirements or earns a grade below B in a graduate course intended for both undergraduate and graduate credit, the student will be obliged to leave the program immediately and will not be allowed to take additional graduate courses as an undergraduate. If a student does not complete at least two graduate courses with B or better, any graduate credits earned with a grade of C or better will be applied only to the undergraduate degree. Graduate courses used for credit in the undergraduate program cannot be applied towards a graduate degree.
Benefits
A student who successfully completes the BS fast track will be automatically admitted to graduate study. The student will not be required to take the Graduate Record Examination, complete an application for graduate admission, or pay an application fee. For more details about the specifics of the fast track program, contact the undergraduate advisor or graduate advisor.
