CI-EDCU - Curriculum and Instruction, Curriculum Concentration, M.A.

The Fast Track program is designed to enable TTU undergraduates to accumulate up to six (6) credit hours of graduate coursework, to satisfy both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements, while still pursuing their undergraduate degree. The coursework would enable an efficient graduate program transition with the potential for accelerated completion. The courses must be taken at Tennessee Tech University.

The minimum admission requirements for participating in the C&I Fast Track Program are:

• Enrolled as a TTU undergraduate with at least 90 hours of completed courses or Spring semester of Junior year within their program of study.
• Overall GPA of at least 3.25 or better
• Recommendation from the student's undergraduate advisor
• Course approval from C&I graduate faculty or graduate faculty advisor.

Program participants should consult with their undergraduate and/or future graduate advisor regarding appropriate graduate courses to take and must earn a minimum grade of "B" in the graduate courses in order to apply them to their M.A. program of study. Students who do not succeed in their first graduate course (B grade or better) will be advised to withdraw from the Fast Track program and complete their B.S. degree in a normal manner.

Fulfilling the above minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the Fast Track program. Students who meet the above minimum admission requirements must apply to the Department for admission to the Fast Track program. The department's graduate committee will review the application and make a decision for approval.

In addition to the requirements for admission to the Fast-track BS/MA program, all requirements for admission to the graduate program must also be met upon graduation. Meeting these minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the graduate program.
