Combined BS/Master's Degree Programs

A combined BS and MS degree program allows undergraduate students to pursue a Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in an accelerated timeframe. As a Rutgers Engineering undergraduate, you are able to apply during your junior year to be part of a combined bachelor's/master's degree program and complete both degrees in (typically) 5 years of study, which may otherwise take 6 years (4 years in BS and 2 years in Master's) if pursued sequentially. The students will be able to simultaneously take both undergraduate and graduate courses in their senior year to facilitate the acceleration. They may also be allowed to transfer certain undergraduate credits into the Master's degree (rules and restrictions may apply and are program-dependent).
