The combined BS/MS degree program allows qualified students to apply for graduate admissions to pursue both a bachelor’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) and a master’s degree in MSE concurrently. Admitted students begin MS degree coursework while working towards their BS degree and will double-count up to 12 credit hours of specific graduate courses for both their undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. The MS degree is designed to be completed within two to three semesters after completing the BS requirements.
Admission Requirements for the Combination BS/MS Program in MSE
- Satisfy both MSE admission requirements and Graduate School admissions requirements for an MS degree
- Applicants must have an upper-division GPA of at least 3.5
- In addition, graduate program applicants must have completed at least 18 credit hours of EMA courses.
- Complete the Combination BS/MS request Application form
