The accelerated program enables students to obtain both bachelor's and master's degrees in just five years. Qualified candidates must have finished a minimum of 90 credit hours while maintaining a 3.0 GPA or better. To complete the accelerated MS program, students need to fulfill 30 graduate-level credit hours. Approved undergraduates may enroll in up to 15 graduate credits that apply toward both degrees, which should be elective courses. After reaching 126 total credits (including at least 12 dual-enrollment credits), students receive their bachelor's degree and transition into the MS program to finish the remaining 18 graduate credits. At least 15 credits must come from 8000-level or higher courses, with no more than 9 credits combined from research or problems courses. A minimum 3.0 GPA is required for graduate coursework.
