QuickStart BS/MS Program

The combined BS/MS program enables especially well-qualified students to be admitted to the MS program during the junior year, allowing a simultaneous pursuit of the BS and MS degrees. BS/MS students may have up to six credit hours count toward both the undergraduate and graduate requirements to reduce the period of study.

 

Students enrolled in this program gain the advantage of a reduced course workload so that they may devote more time to investigation, thus enhancing the quality of research products and expediting degree completion.
