BS/MS Option in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering

This fast-track program enables outstanding BS degree students in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering to complete both the BS and the MS with nine fewer total credits. Students may take three graduate courses as their CPE or ELE BS-degree technical electives and apply them to both degrees.

Eligibility

Outstanding undergraduate scholars will be identified at the conclusion of the fall semester of their junior year. The graduate committee will select nominees at the beginning of the spring semester. Students invited to participate in the program must then select a graduate advisor and develop an individual program of study. Those students need to file an application through the Office of Graduate Studies, submitting the regular graduate application but without GRE or TOEFL scores or recommendation letters, by the end of the academic year; and they will be accepted into the five-year program as of the fall of their senior year. Because of the nature of the BS/MS Program, students will be required to file a program of study along with their graduate application.

The department will follow a schedule:

• Graduate Committee identifies qualified students: February
• Graduate Committee sends invitation letters: March
• Students/Advisors Develop Program of Study: March/April
• Application filing deadline: May 1
