The MSE Department offers B.S./M.S. and B.S./M.Eng. concurrent enrollment programs. Students accepted into a concurrent degree program may apply up to 6 credits of major or non-major graduate credit to both the B.S. degree and the relevant graduate degree (M.S. or M. Eng.). The Master of Science (M.S.) degree program includes a supervised research project. The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) is coursework only.
Admission to the B.S./M.S. program requires major professor sponsorship. Assistantships are not available for B.S./M.Eng. students. See the Graduate College Handbook for more details concerning application procedures.
