 Return to: Degree programs listed by academic unit
The Department of Political Science offers a grad-track pathway in which the student can complete a Bachelor’s Degree in four years, and then earn a master’s degree in the fifth year. This is for highly motivated political science majors who have maintained at least a 3.5 GPA. Students must apply to this program by their junior year. Admitted students will take twelve graduate hours during their senior year, which can count both toward their bachelor’s and master’s degrees as permitted by university rules.
Undergraduate students who have been accepted to a grad track pathway option must complete all of their bachelor’s degree requirements and graduate within 12 months of the first day of the semester for which they were admitted to the accelerated program or enrollment in graduate level course work may be suspended.
