Relevant work and volunteer experience as well as personal achievements listed may also be considered. Since the accelerated option is full-time and continuous, the Admissions Committee will review the applicant’s transcript for evidence that the applicant has the ability to complete 12-credit hour course loads and achieve grades at least as high as those required to meet promotion requirements on those course loads. Applicants whose transcripts do not demonstrate this ability or whose overall academic records are below this standard are unlikely to be admitted.
