The Technology Division offers several accelerated degree options for Engineering Technology majors. This option is open to qualified undergraduate CCE Technology Division students wishing to continue their education at the graduate level immediately upon completion of the B.S. degree. Students may take up to six graduate-level credits that will apply to both the bachelor's and master's degrees. This will reduce the total number of undergraduate/graduate credit hours required to complete both degrees.
Accelerated options include:
- B.S./M.S. Degree Program in Biotechnology
- B.S./M.S. Degree Program in Computer Engineering Technology/Engineering Technology - Specialization in Computational Health Informatics
- B.S./M.S. Degree Program in Computer Engineering Technology/Engineering Technology - Specialization in Network Communications
- B.S./M.S. Degree Program in Computer Engineering Technology/Global Retailing
- B.S./M.S. Degree Program in Computer Engineering Technology/Human Resource Development
- B.S./M.S. Degree Program in Electrical Power Engineering Technology/Global Retailing
- B.S./M.S. Degree Program in Electrical Power Engineering Technology/Human Resource Development
- B.S./M.S. Degree Program in Mechanical Engineering Technology/Engineering Technology - Specialization in Mechanical
Petitions Due:
- December 1 for taking courses in the Spring term
- June 1 for taking courses in the Fall term
Eligibility Criteria and Application Process
A student wishing to enroll in the accelerated option should submit a General Petition and include:

Graduate Courses Taken as an Undergraduate
The Technology Division at the Cullen College of Engineering granting the B.S. degree shall determine which graduate courses can be substituted to satisfy the student's undergraduate degree requirements. This determination will be made in accordance with the student's interest, the recommended graduate courses for the accelerated program as chosen by the ET faculty, and the student's preparation for the course material. It is anticipated that there will be consultation with the graduate degree and undergraduate degree departments.
Acceptance into the accelerated option does not constitute automatic admission to the graduate program. To apply for graduate admission, please visit the Technology Division at the Cullen College of Engineering Graduate Admissions Procedures page.
