Accelerated Track for Radford University Computer Science Students
Radford has partnered with the Virginia Tech College of Engineering to help our students pursue an accelerated Masters of Engineering (MEng).
The goal of the program is to enable Radford undergraduate students to take courses toward a Virginia Tech MEng degree before completing their degree at Radford.
Participating Students can take up to 12 graduate credits deemed eligible for transfer to the MEng degree, beyond 120 semester credit hours required by Radfords undergraduate degree.
Note: There are limitations for double counting of graduate credit hours.
Possible Scenarios for Double Counting of Graduate Credit Hours | |
---|---|
Required Semester Credit Hours for Bachelor Degree | Maximum Allowable Graduate Credit Hours that can be Doubled |
120 credits | 0 credits |
123 credits | 3 credits |
126 credits | 6 credits |
129 credits | 9 credits |
132+ credits | 12 credits |
How To Apply?
Apply to Virginia Tech's Computer Science & Applications (CSA) Accelerated Undergraduate/Graduate program the 2nd semester of Junior year, by credit hours.
Contact Dr. Jeff Pittges in regard to the online application and fee waiver.
