The Fast Track program is designed to enable TN Tech College of Education and Human Sciences 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 admissions requirements for participating in the Exercise Science, Physical Education, and Wellness program Fast Track Program are:

• Enrolled in Tennessee Tech as an undergraduate Exercise Science major with at least 90 hours of completed courses within their program of study,

• Overall GPA of 3.25 or better,

• Recommendation from the undergraduate advisor, and

• Approval by departmental coordinator of graduate studies. Fast Track program participants should consult with the undergraduate and graduate advisors regarding enrollment in the appropriate courses and must earn a minimum grade of "B" in the identified courses to apply them to their MA program of study.

Courses to be included in the Fast Track program include:

Dual listed courses:

EXPW 4520/5520 - Adapted Physical Education and Sport
EXPW 4730/5730 - Assessment in Exercise Science
EXPW 4440/5440 - Exercise Physiology
EXPW 4042/5042 - Health Promotion

(Courses listed at the 5000 level will include additional graduate coursework and a culminating project in each course.)

Graduate courses:

EXPW 6140 - Assessment and Strategies for Adapted Physical Education
EXPW 6240 - Assessment in Sport, Physical Education and Wellness
EXPW 6440 - Physiology of Exercise
EXPW 6042 - Health Promotions

In addition to requirements for admission to the Fast Track BS/MA program, all requirements for admission to the College of Graduate Studies must also be met upon graduation. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the graduate program.
