Integrated paths
An integrated path allows undergraduate students to begin graduate-level coursework while completing their bachelor’s degree. This option lets you earn credits toward your undergraduate degree, all while setting you up to accelerate the completion of a graduate program if you decide to continue your studies.

How it works
Apply for admission
Apply to the integrated path during your undergraduate studies. Each program has its own application form, which will be reviewed by the department for eligibility.
Start graduate-level courses
Once admitted, you can begin graduate-level courses while still in your undergraduate program. Each path specifies eligible courses.
Earn credit and track performance
Graduate courses count toward your undergraduate degree requirements. If you continue to a graduate program, the credits may also apply to your graduate degree, provided you meet the grade criteria. The grades will impact your undergraduate CGPA and graduation GPA.
Apply for graduate admission
After completing your undergraduate degree, you can apply for graduate admission. Completing the integrated path doesn’t guarantee acceptance; the standard graduate admission process applies. If admitted, your completed graduate courses will count toward your graduate degree, speeding up your progress.
