BS/MS Fast-track Program Description

The CEE Fast-track MS program is designed to enable TTU CEE undergraduates to accumulate up to six credit hours of graduate coursework while still pursuing their undergraduate degree and to transition to the graduate program with anticipated accelerated completion. Up to six hours of graduate coursework, exclusive of directd 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 CEE electives.

In order to remain in the Fast-track program, the student must demonstrate ongoig scholarship by continuing to meet the GPA admission requirements during the semester that the student enrolls in the first of his/her graduate courses. The student must earn a minimum grade of "B" in the graduate courses in order to apply them to the M.S. program of study and to continue in the Fast-track option. Additionally, Fast-track students will be integrated into CEE research while enrolled as an undergraduate with the expectation that this research will be coordinated with their future thesis research. CEE Fast-track M.S. students that graduate with their B.S. in the Spring semester can be expected to complete their M.S. requirements at the end of the Summer term of the following calendar year.
