Fast Track in Engineering
BS/MS Program at Texas A&M University
If you plan to pursue graduate studies in engineering, Fast
Track can help you take the lead. This program speeds the
process if you're committed to earning a master's degree from
the Look College of Engineering at Texas A&M University.
With Fast Track, you can begin graduate studies at the end
of your junior year and may complete both the BS and MS degrees
within five years.
How Fast Track Works
Each participating department in the Look College of Engineering
has streamlined its program for Fast Track participants by
substituting specific graduate courses for selected undergraduate
course offerings. Students take these 600-level courses during
their senior year, earning graduate credit while fulfilling
undergraduate requirements through "credit-by-exam".
Each individual department
sets its own grade and exam requirements for earning dual
credits. The department also establishes the maximum number
of credit hours allowed for acceleration. To balance the academic
load, it is recommended that students take one graduate-level
course each semester during the last full year as a BS student.
Advantages
- participate earlier in graduate studies
- identify research opportunities in your chosen discipline
sooner
- reduce the total credit hours for BS and MS degrees by
one, two or more courses.
Requirements
- GPR as determined by the individual departments
- commitment to graduate studies at Texas A&M University
- application to Fast Track during the semester before the
senior year
