Program Overview

Accelerated B.S. Biomedical Engineering/M.S. Mechanical Engineering Program

The departments of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and industrial and systems engineering offer an accelerated B.S/M.S. degree sequence. This sequence leads to a Master of Science (M.S.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in their respective programs.

General Requirements

Students must have finished at least 90 semester hours of undergraduate work with a GPA of at least 3.00. A minimum GPA of 3.00 must be maintained during the course of study. Failure to meet the requirements of the accelerated sequence may lead to a B.S. degree only, but only after all requirements for that degree have been met.

Program Structure

• All students enrolled in the B.S./M.S. degree sequence must have their schedule approved by their faculty advisor each semester.
  • Any deviation from the approved course schedule may delay graduation.
• Students must complete all undergraduate required courses, including nine semester hours of technical electives.
  • Only those technical electives taken for graduate credit, during the student's final undergraduate term, will be credited towards the M.S. degree program.

Degree Options

Students are required to fulfill all requirements for one of the following options:

• Thesis option
• Project option
• Course option
