Fast Track Programs
The Fast Track Programs allow an undergraduate business student who is within 30 hours of completing the baccalaureate degree and has earned a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA, to enroll in graduate courses that satisfy both undergraduate degree requirements in specified programs and graduate degree requirements in specified graduate programs. The following criteria apply to all School of Management Fast Track programs.
- Students need to obtain and complete the Permission to Use Graduate Course(s) on an
Undergraduate Transcript Form from an
undergraduate advisor
and apply to the Management Fast Track Program.
- Students enrolling in a Fast Track Program will be evaluated in the same manner as graduate
students are in their graduate courses. Plus (+) and minus (-) grades are not awarded.
- Credit for the Fast Track Program courses will accrue to the student’s undergraduate
transcript. The courses will also be used to satisfy the corresponding graduate
core degree requirements if they are completed with a grade of “B” or better.
- Enrollment in graduate courses as outlined by Fast Track Program requirements does not waive
the student from the GMAT exam. The student must satisfy all
requirements for
admission to the graduate program.
- Students may participate in only one of the three Fast Track Programs listed
below.
