Fast-Track Program
The Fast Track program is designed to enable TTU CSC undergraduates in the CSSC concentration to accumulate up to six credit hours of graduate coursework while still pursuing their undergraduate degree and to transition to the graduate program smoothly, with accelerated completion. Up to six hours of graduate coursework, exclusive of directed study, taken during the student's senior year can be used to satisfy both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. These courses must be taken at Tennessee Tech University and must be approved as appropriate substitutions in the undergraduate curriculum for senior CSC electives.
The minimum requirements for applying to the Fast Track program are:
- Enrolled as TTU undergraduate Computer Science student in the CSSC concentration with at least 60 hours of completed courses within the CSSC curriculum.
- Completed a minimum of 90 hours of overall coursework.
- Overall GPA of 3.25 and a GPA for CSC courses of at least 3.5
- Letter from a CSC graduate faculty member agreeing to serve as applicant’s graduate advisor
Program participants should consult with their future M.S. advisor regarding appropriate graduate courses to take during their senior year and must earn a minimum grade of "B" in the graduate courses in order to apply them to their M.S. program of study. Additionally, all requirements for full admission to Graduate School must be met upon graduation.
