The BS-MS accelerated degree program allows undergraduate students in the Kinesiology & Sports Studies-Human performance concentration to begin coursework towards the Master of Science in Health, Kinesiology, and Sports Studies-Human Performance program during their senior year at Texas A&M University-Commerce. Students can earn a B.S. and M.S. degree in five years upon completion of degree requirements for both degrees. A maximum of 12 graduate hours can be taken as an undergraduate, and students cannot be admitted to the MS program until all undergraduate courses are complete. Students must apply to the master’s program during their final semester classified as a senior and have a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher. Additionally, students should have taken certain upper-level courses in their junior year to ensure they can be successful taking graduate courses with UG courses in their senior year (e.g., HHPK 335, HHPK 350, HHPK 450). Students must earn a B or higher in these courses.
