Accelerated bachelor to master's in Mathematics

Earn your bachelor’s and master’s degrees in less time at TWU

Our BS to MS in mathematics program provides exceptional undergraduate students an avenue toward accelerated completion of a master’s degree. Students in the Bachelor’s to Master’s Accelerated programs will complete 12 graduate hours during their final 30 hours of undergraduate coursework that count toward their BA/BS and MS degrees.

Students planning to apply for this program should seek advising as soon as possible, preferably during their sophomore year of study. Once admitted to the program, students must meet with the program advisor at least once each semester prior to registering for courses. During the semester of graduation from the BA/BS program, students should seek advice from the graduate advisor to plan for the subsequent semesters of only graduate courses.

Upon admission to an accelerated program, students with senior standing (90 earned SCH) may enroll in graduate courses for credit. Approved courses will apply to both an undergraduate and a graduate degree.

Conditions

  • Undergraduate students may enroll in no more than 6 SCH of graduate coursework in each semester or term.
  • Minimal criteria for admission will include a cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0. The program may set higher GPA requirements as outlined on their TWU graduate program website at the time of graduate application.
