Accelerated Pathway Program

Application to participate in an Accelerated Pathway Program

The Accelerated Pathway Programs allow undergraduate business students to take graduate-level classes to count towards their undergraduate degree. Upon graduation, if these students apply and are admitted into the Masters program, they can then use those courses towards their Masters program as well. In order for the courses to count towards an MS program, students must earn a C- or higher. Students who wish to participate in an accelerated pathway program must submit the application below to request approval. Approval for the Accelerated Pathway Program does not guarantee admission into the Masters program.

*Note: If you are participating in the CTAP Cougar Textbook Access Program, please note that materials for graduate courses are not automatically included in CTAP. Students must contact the bookstore at ctapuh@central.uh.edu to see if their specific materials can be requested. If CTAP is unable to assist, students will be required to purchase required materials as needed.

If you want to learn more about any MS program, please reach out to the Faculty Director listed below. If you have questions on how the accelerated pathway program works with your undergraduate degree, please reach out to the academic advisor listed below.
