What Is “Grad Track”?

Grad Track is a BS/MS accelerated program for undergraduate students. The student can take a maximum of nine (9) credit hours of graduate courses while the student is completing their BS degree. These credits will be counted towards both the BS and MS degrees.

How Does “Grad Track” Work?

  • The student will apply for the Grad Track option in their junior year (completed at least 75 credit hours with GPA of3.5 or higher).
  • The student applies to Toulouse Graduate School within the first semester of the senior year. Once the student satisfies all coursework for the BS degree and has maintained a 3.0 or higher GPA, he/she will be fully admitted to the MS program.
  • The student must enroll in graduate school in the long semester after finishing his/her BS degree and should take the remaining graduate courses in the following year(s) to complete his/her BMENMS degree. If the student did not enroll in graduate school in the long semester after finishing his/her BS degree, those graduate course credit hours will not be counted anymore for the MS degree
    even if the student comes back for graduate school in the future.

Eligibility to Apply for the Grad Track Program

  • Student should be a major in UNT Biomedical Engineering’s BS program.

  • Minimum of 3.5 or higher cumulative GPA required at the time of application submission.
