Accelerated Bachelor's to Master's Program in Kinesiology

The accelerated bachelor's to master’s program in Kinesiology provides an opportunity for highly-qualified seniors with a 3.0 GPA or higher on their last 60 hours to earn a bachelor’s degree and begin earning a master’s degree in a cost-effective and timely manner. This program is designed to ensure that students earn high-quality TTU bachelor's and master's degree in pursuit of their educational and professional goals.

• The earliest a student may apply to the accelerated program in Kinesiology is the semester in which they will attain the 90th student credit hour (SCH) in the student’s undergraduate program in Kinesiology. Transfer students must have, or be in, the semester they will attain 30 SCH at TTU.
• Undergraduates must formally apply to The Graduate School. Upon recommendation by the Kinesiology program faculty, and pursuant to meeting university requirements, students will be admitted to the Graduate School on a conditional basis. To obtain full standing in the Graduate School, students must meet all of the academic requirements for the baccalaureate program. Students will be officially counted as graduate students on admission to full standing in the Graduate School.
• A maximum of 6 SCH of graduate-level courses will be applied toward the electives in the bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, and those same 6 SCH will be applied toward the master's degree in Kinesiology. See the Concentrations and Courses in the M.S. in Kinesiology.
• Course content in graduate coursework applied to the bachelor's degree should be in conformity with the expectations of Standard 9.6 (post-baccalaureate program rigor) of the SACSCOC Principles of Accreditation, which specifies that graduate-level academic content is more advanced in relation to content and outcomes than the undergraduate classes substituted. Also, non-major graduate elective courses may not be used to replace a senior-level major course.
• No undergraduate-level course may be counted toward the master’s degree.
• Students must meet all requirements of the master’s program (e.g., required and elective courses, comprehensive examination, etc.) to graduate with the master's degree.
