This accelerated combined degree program provides academically talented students an opportunity to complete a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in a shorter period of time. The BS/MS degree allows you to ‘double-count’ graduate courses toward both degrees, thus reducing the time it would normally take to graduate by a semester or more. The combined-degree program reduces the cost of both degrees and enhances your marketability for career advancement. By enrolling in a combined bachelor’s and master’s program you can earn your master’s degree earlier while participating in research and taking courses not usually available to undergraduates.
With this accelerated program, students may combine a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering combined with the Master of Science Degree in Biomedical Engineering.
