Accelerated Undergraduate to Graduate Programs
Ready to jump-start your graduate education? TU’s accelerated bachelor’s to graduate programs let you save time and money while you push your learning to the next level.
Why Choose an Accelerated Option
Accelerated bachelor’s to graduate programs allow you to begin your graduate education as an undergraduate, offering you the opportunity to save time and money while you advance your academic career.
If you are a high-achieving student with the discipline and drive to pursue graduate study, an accelerated program might be a good option for you.
Benefits
With an accelerated program, you'll quickly immerse yourself in a field of study you’re passionate about.
- Graduate with two degrees on a shortened timeline and gain a competitive edge in your industry with advanced skills.
- Enjoy individualized career advising from faculty mentors
- Apply six to nine units of graduate-level work towards both your undergraduate and
graduate degrees (must earn a grade of C or higher)
- While only the units for graduate coursework will be applied to the graduate record and will not impact the graduate grade point average (GPA), transferring a course with a grade of C will count toward the graduate policy of a maximum of two courses with C grades to be used toward your eventual graduate degree.
- Accelerated options can be tailored to suit your career goals.

Admissions Requirements
Accelerated bachelor's to graduate programs are designed for accomplished students with a track record of excellent academic performance.
To be eligible for the initial screening process, you must have:
- a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 – 3.25 or better (GPA requirement is set by each graduate program)
- a minimum of 60 completed undergraduate units (junior status). Transfer students must have completed at least 12 of the units at TU
Undergraduate requirements that can be fulfilled with graduate coursework - up to six units can be applied for entry into a Graduate Certificate program, and up to nine units or a Master's degree program.
Screening forms must be submitted by the first day of classes for the term in which the student wants to enroll.
How to Apply
In order to apply course units to both their undergraduate and graduate degrees, students accepted into an accelerated program must:
- Begin graduate courses as an undergraduate student.
- Apply to their chosen graduate program during their final semester of undergraduate study (unless a specific program requires a different application timeline).
- Continue their graduate program in the semester immediately following completion of their undergraduate degree (exceptions may be considered – please reach out to the Director of Accelerated Programs).
Students who decide not to pursue their graduate degree at TU will receive units for completed coursework at the undergraduate level only. These units cannot be used toward a graduate degree at a later date (except in extraordinary circumstances).
