CP-PSYC - Counseling and Psychology, Psychology Concentration, M.A.

The Fast Track program is designed to enable Tennessee Tech undergraduates to accumulate up to six (6) credit hours of graduate coursework in Counseling and Psychology while still pursuing their undergraduate degree and to transition to the Counseling and Psychology graduate program smoothly, with accelerated completion. Up to six (6) hours of graduate coursework can be used to satisfy both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. These courses must be taken at Tennessee Tech University. The minimum admission requirements for participating in the C&P Fast Track Program are:

• Enrolled as a Tennessee Tech undergraduate Psychology major with senior standing.

• Overall GPA of at least 3.0 or better.

• Approval from the student's undergraduate advisor and two other upper division psychology faculty at TTU who have been the student's instructor for at least one course at TTU.

• Course approval from C&P graduate faculty or graduate faculty advisor.

• All requirements for full admission to Graduate School must be met upon graduation. 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 during their senior year (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.
