The College of Engineering Grad Track programs allow you to save time and money while
you earn your Bachelor's degree and either a Master's or PhD.
About Grad Track
The Grad Track Leading to Master's program allows you to earn a Bachelor's and Master's
degree in as few as 5 years. You will take up to 9 hours of graduate credit while
you are enrolled as an undergraduate student that apply to your Bachelor's and Master's
degrees.
The Grad Track Leading to PhD program allows you to earn Bachelor's and PhD degrees
faster. You will take up to 12 graduate credits while you are enrolled as an undergraduate
student that count toward both degrees, decreasing your time to complete the PhD by
more than one semester.

Benefits of Grad Track
- Earn your MS or PhD degree in less time
- Save up to $5,000 in tuition and fees
- Leave UNT with a BS and MS or BS and PhD in your engineering discipline
How Grad Track Works
- Apply for the Grad Track Pathway through your department. To apply, you should be
in your junior year, meaning you have completed at least 75 credit hours, and you
should have a GPA of 3.5 or higher. If your GPA is lower, talk with your department
before applying.
- After you are admitted and complete 90 credit hours, you will take graduate courses
as technical electives for your BS degree. A pre-approved list of technical electives
is available from your department; seek input from the department to ensure that your
selected courses qualify for the Grad Track Pathway you have chosen. You have to earn
an A or B in each graduate-level course you take for it to transfer to your MS or
PhD degree.
- Next, you will apply to the Toulouse Graduate School during the first semester of
your senior year. Once all coursework for the BS degree is complete and you meet the
GPA requirement for your department, you will receive full admission to the MS or
PhD program you have selected.
- Last, visit with your department to verify the process once you have completed your
BS degree. You are required to enroll in graduate school in the first long semester
after you finish your BS degree and should take the remaining graduate courses in
the following year(s) to complete your advanced degree. If you do not enroll in graduate
school in the long semester after finishing your BS degree, your graduate course credit
hours will only count for your BS degree and cannot be used at a later time for your
MS or PhD degree, even if you return to UNT for graduate school in the future.
