Program Overview

Program Overview

The B.S./M.S. program in Materials Science and Engineering at Clemson University is designed for eligible undergraduate students to get a head-start on graduate studies. This program allows students to use a limited number of graduate courses to satisfy requirements for both the B.S. and M.S. degrees.

Eligibility and Admission

To be eligible for the program, undergraduate students must have a GPA of 3.4 or higher and 90 earned credit hours. Students are encouraged to apply to the program either at the end of their sophomore year or during their junior year.

Program Structure

Materials science and engineering undergraduates may begin a Master of Science (M.S.) degree program while completing their Bachelor of Science (B.S.). The program enables students to take a limited number of graduate courses that can be used to satisfy requirements for both degrees.

Key Features

• The program provides an opportunity for undergraduate students to advance their studies and earn both a B.S. and an M.S. degree in Materials Science and Engineering.
  • Students can take graduate courses that count towards both degrees.
  • The program is designed for high-achieving undergraduate students with a strong academic record.
• Students can begin their M.S. degree program while still completing their B.S. degree.
  • This allows for a seamless transition into graduate studies.
  • Students can take advantage of the program's flexibility to accelerate their academic progress.
