Fast Track Program

The Fast Track program is designed to accelerate a student’s education so that both BSEE and MSEE degrees can be earned in approximately five years of full-time study. The Fast Track program in Electrical Engineering enables exceptionally gifted undergraduate students in their senior year to include approved master’s level courses as part of an undergraduate degree plan. When Fast Track students graduate with a bachelor’s degree, they are automatically admitted to graduate school at UT Dallas without need to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE).
