Admission Requirements & Process

Follow these steps to apply to an accelerated program.

1

Complete the interest form

Completing the interest form ensures you get connected to staff and faculty that can guide you through the process.

2

Confirm that you meet the requirements

You’re eligible to apply for an accelerated program if you have:

  • A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 – 3.25 (GPA is set by each graduate program)
  • A minimum of 60 completed undergraduate credits (junior status)
  • Transfer students must have completed at least one semester at TU
  • Undergraduate requirements that can be completed with graduate courses 

3

Complete the screening process

If you meet the eligibility requirements, there are a couple of steps you'll need to take to complete screening. Screening provides permission to enroll in graduate courses that count towards undergraduate and graduate programs. Screening does not include admission into the graduate program.

  1. Meet with your undergraduate advisor/department chair. They'll help you review your remaining credits and determine whether the graduate program you’re considering aligns with your learning goals.
  2. Meet with the director of your chosen graduate program. They'll review your request to begin an accelerated program, evaluate your goals and help you determine which graduate courses would be best for you to enroll in as an undergraduate.

Your undergraduate advisor/department chair and the graduate program director must approve your request to complete the screening process. 

Screening forms must be submitted by the first day of classes for the term in which you want to enroll.

4

Begin graduate courses

Once approved by the graduate program director, you can begin taking graduate courses with senior standing.

  • up to 9 credits for masters programs
  • up to 6 credits for graduate certificates

5

Apply to the graduate program

During your senior year, you’ll submit an application to your chosen graduate program by the posted deadline.

  • Your application fee will be waived.
  • Your admission to the graduate program is not guaranteed.
