The School of Criminology and Criminal Justice has developed a Fast Track Program for highly qualified and motivated students providing the opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in an accelerated time frame. With Fast Track, students may count up to 9 graduate hours toward the completion of their undergraduate program as well as the graduate degree program.

Program Specifics:

  • This program is available for undergraduate students pursuing any of the following:
    • BS in Criminology or Criminal Justice on either the UNO or UNL campuses
    • Double-major at UNO with a BS in Criminology and Criminal Justice as either the primary or secondary major
    • BMS with a concentration in Criminology and Criminal Justice

  • A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 is required for graduate coursework to remain in good standing
  • Students remain undergraduates until they meet all the requirements for the undergraduate degree and are eligible for all rights and privileges granted undergraduate status including financial aid
  • Near the end of the undergraduate program, formal application to the graduate program is required for students pursuing graduate school. The application fee will be waived, but the applicant will need to contact the Office of Graduate Studies for a fee waiver code before submitting their application
