Integrated Bachelor's and Master's Programs
Benefits of an Integrated Bachelor's and Master's Program
- A streamlined admissions process from the undergraduate to the graduate program.
- The opportunity to take additional credits at undergraduate tuition rates during your final semesters, which can be applied toward your master's degree.
- Flexibility in fulfilling required courses for both degrees simultaneously in your final year(s) of undergraduate study.
- Eligibility for teaching and research assistantships during your senior year, while remaining registered as an undergraduate but paid at the graduate hourly rate. (BME/MSME program only.)
- A reduced timeline to complete both degrees, offering greater opportunities for job placement upon graduation.
