Undergraduate Fast Track Program
The Fast Track program is designed to enable TTU ME undergraduates to accumulate up to six (6) credit hours of graduate coursework while still pursuing their undergraduate degree and to transition to the graduate program smoothly, with accelerated completion. Up to six (6) hours of graduate coursework, exclusive of directed study, taken during the student's senior year can be used to satisfy both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements (double counted). These courses must be taken at Tennessee Tech University and must be approved as appropriate substitutions in the undergraduate curriculum for senior ME electives (AOE courses). There is no obligation to complete the master's degree if the student's plans change. Students who plan to work on a master's thesis are strongly encouraged to meet with faculty during their junior and senior year to get a head start on the research for their master's degree.
Fast Track Requirements to Apply
Student must be an ME undergraduate student in their junior or senior year.
Student must have obtained a grade point average (GPA) of 3.25 or higher for all undergraduate courses.
Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the BS/MS graduate program. To receive full consideration, all applications to the BS/MS program should be received two weeks before the start of the registration period.
Fast Track Program Rules and Requirements
To maintain eligibility for the BS/MS Fast Track program after being accepted, students must:
Maintain a 3.25 GPA or higher (ME courses) at the undergraduate level. Students who graduate with their BS degree with less than a 3.25GPAwill not be eligible for the BS/MS program.
Students must complete their BS degree, and then matriculate into the MS program. Students cannot graduate with a BS and MS at the same time.
Start in the MS program immediately after graduating with their BS degree. The only exception to this is summer semester. Students who graduate in the spring are allowed to take summer semester off and start in the fall semester.
