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 course work while working towards their BS degree and 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, applicants to the graduate program must have completed a minimum of 18 credit hours of EMA courses.
Combination BS/MS Program in MSE
- All BS degree requirements must be satisfied
- In addition, all MS degree requirements must be satisfied:
- A maximum of 12 credit hours may be double-counted from the graduate courses listed below towards both the BS and MS degrees
