Undergraduate students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's program during their junior year (75+ credit hours earned). Applicants for the accelerated program must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 in the last 60 hours of their bachelor's degree. Students who do not meet this requirement will need to meet with our advising team to discuss the next steps.
Students not yet in their junior year are encouraged to express their interest in the program to advisors as early as possible in their academic journey. This will allow our advising team to consider your interest in future courses and semesters and allow you to connect with the graduate team at the appropriate time.
