2011–2012 UNIVERSITY CATALOG - Florida Institute of Technology

Fast Track Master’s Programs for Undergraduates
The fast track program allows all Florida Tech undergraduate students
who have completed at least 95 credit hours (at least 35 credit
hours at Florida Tech) with an earned GPA of at least 3.25 to complete
the MBA degree program at an accelerated pace.
Nathan M. Bisk College of Business students who have completed
at least 95 credit hours and students in all other colleges who
have completed the sixth semester of undergraduate work who are
accepted into the Nathan M. Bisk College of Business fast track
program may earn graduate-level credit hours during their senior
year and, when earning at least a B grade, apply up to six graduate
credit hours to both their bachelor’s and MBA degrees (subject to
approval of their undergraduate program adviser).
Typically, graduate courses would satisfy required business courses
(business majors) or other business, free or technical elective
undergraduate requirements (non-business majors). Graduate
credit hours applied to both degrees are treated as transfer credit
(GPA does not apply) when applied toward the MBA degree.
Fast track students who are majoring in business are encouraged to
complete Essentials of Business Development 2 (BUS 5602) and
either Organizational Behavior (BUS 5450) or a BUS 5000-level
or above graduate elective. Non-business majors are encouraged
to complete the two course foundation sequence, Essentials of
Business Development 1 and 2 (BUS 5601 and BUS 5602).
Interested students should consult the Nathan M. Bisk College of
Business associate dean of academics and their department head
for more information about graduate and fast track programs available
in the college.
