Integrated Bachelor's and Master's Programs

Students working at round tables while an instructor teaches in an active-learning classroom.

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.
