CSC-MS - Computer Science - M.S.

The Fast Track program is designed to enable TTU undergraduates to accumulate up to seven (7) credit hours of graduate coursework while still pursuing their undergraduate degree and to transition to the Computer Science graduate program smoothly, with accelerated completion.

Up to six (6) hours of graduate coursework, exclusive of directed study, can be used to satisfy both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. These courses must be taken at Tennessee Tech University and must be approved as appropriate substitutions in the undergraduate curriculum.

The minimum requirements for acceptance to the Fast Track program are:

• Enrolled as TTU Undergraduate with junior or senior standing.

• Completed CSC 2400.

• Overall GPA of at least 3.25 and a GPA for CSC courses of at least 3.5. Fulfilling the above minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the Computer Science Fast Track program. Students who meet the above minimum requirements must consult with the Computer Science department for eligibility and acceptance.

Once accepted in the Fast Track program, students should be aware of the following:

• Program participants should consult with their future M.S. advisor regarding appropriate graduate courses to take during their junior/senior year.

• The student must earn a minimum grade of "B" in the graduate courses in order to apply them to their M.S. program of study.

• All requirements for full admission to Graduate School must be met upon graduation.

• 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.
