Exceptional undergraduate students at UNC Charlotte may apply to this Early Entry Program to begin work toward a graduate degree before completion of the baccalaureate degree.

  • Minimum 3.2 overall undergraduate GPA
  • Three letters of recommendation
  • Completed online application at mygradschool.uncc.edu

Continued Enrollment Requirements

  • Maintain a minimum 3.0 overall undergraduate GPA
