Combined B.S./M.S.
Under the combined B.S./M.S. program, a full-time student can earn both the B.S. and the M.S. degree in mechanical engineering within five years. Candidates for the program are exempt from the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) but must apply for admittance to the graduate school using the normal procedures. Application to the program must be made during either the winter or spring quarters of the junior year. Accepted students begin taking graduate classes their senior year.
Students accepted into the B.S./M.S. program must satisfy all requirements for the B.S. and M.S. degrees, including the M.S. thesis. Successful students will be awarded the B.S. degree after four years and the M.S. at the end of the five-year program.
