Minimum Grade

To be eligible for admission to the Fast Track, students must have a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.5 or better.

Graduation

Students will first graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration upon completing all of their program requirements. 

During the final semester of study, the student will then apply to the Master of Accountancy program and upon acceptance; with all admission requirements met, the first two graduate courses may be waived, provided a grade of “B” was earned in the two equivalent undergraduate courses. 

In this case, instead of a curricular requirement of thirty six (36) hours/twelve (12) courses, the curricular requirement after the Fast Track would be thirty (30) hours/ten (10) courses.

Students who elect to enroll in two courses per each of the five scheduled terms can complete their graduate degree in one year.
