The Department of Political Science offers a grad track option in which the student can complete a bachelor’s degree in four years, and then complete a master’s degree with a fifth year of study. The program is for highly motivated political science majors who have maintained at least a 3.5 GPA. Students should apply during their junior year to this program.
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.
Admitted students will take 12 graduate hours during their senior year, which will count first toward the bachelor’s degree and then be transferred to the master’s degrees as permitted by university rules.
