Other requirements

General requirements

Students may apply for entrance to the graduate program when they reach 90 hours applied to their degree program, normally in the spring of their junior year.
Applicants to this program must submit two letters of advocacy from faculty members, one of whom is willing to serve as the M.S. thesis advisor.
At this time, we do not require applicants to report GRE scores, and we will not consider GRE scores in the application review process.
Students admitted into the Fast Track program must finish the entire 150 credit hours to obtain both the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. These students will be conferred with two degrees once they complete all requirements.
Students not accepted into the Fast Track Program will complete the 120 hour Bachelor’s degree under the standard 4 year curriculum. These students may still apply to the traditional graduate program.
