Fast Track Program

Fast Track Program

Lewis University Fast Track Program allows qualified undergraduate majors to complete their undergraduate degree and graduate business degree in less time than completing each degree separately.

Eligible students must complete an application for the specific College of Business Fast Track Program through the myLewis portal on the Records & Registration page. Students should meet with their academic advisor prior to applying.

For admission requirements, please see Admission Policies.

 

Before students are permitted to submit a request to take graduate level courses, they must have completed a minimum of 90 credit hours with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.  Students will work with their undergraduate faculty advisor/mentor in consultation with the College of Business/Graduate School of Management Graduate Program Director for selection of graduate courses and submission of the Undergraduate in Graduate Course Request form.  Undergraduate in Graduate Course request forms should be submitted to SGPCE@lewisu.edu by the CoB/GSM Graduate Program Director.

*For Undergraduate College of Business Majors and Minors, graduate level courses cannot substitute any CoB major or minor course/credit hour requirements.

** Admission to a Fast Track program does not replace official application and admission to the graduate program. Application must be made to the graduate program consistent with University policy as outlined in the Graduate Catalog.
