Cal State East Bay Falcon Accelerated Success Track (FAST) Program
Program Description
The Cal State East Bay FAST program provides undergraduate students with an accelerated pathway to a graduate degree. Students in this program pursue a bachelor’s and master’s degree simultaneously. This program allows students to earn graduate credit while in their junior and/or senior year, reducing the number of semesters required for completion of a master’s degree.
Program Policies
-
Up to 12 graduate-level units may double-count between the bachelor’s and master’s degree, as predetermined by the program. Programs may permit the double-counting of fewer units. See the specific FAST program for more information.
-
An East Bay FAST program undergraduate student can take graduate-level courses required for the master’s degree prior to completing their bachelor’s degree.
-
All courses applied toward the master’s degree must lead to a program GPA of at least 3.00; this includes double-counted courses.
