Materials Engineering

Accelerated Program
The Accelerated Program of the College of Engineering provides opportunities for highly talented and strongly motivated students to progress toward their educational goals essentially at their own pace. These options include opportunities for accelerated studies, dual degrees, as well as a combined bachelor’s/master’s (BS/MS) program. Primarily through advanced placement, credit by examination, flexibility of scheduling, and independent study, this “fast track” makes it possible to complete the undergraduate curriculum and initiate graduate studies in less than the five years required by the standard curriculum.

Dual Degree Bachelor’s Programs
With careful planning, students can complete two full degrees in the time usually required to complete one. For detailed information, students should contact their advisors.

Bachelor’s/Master’s Dual Degree Program
Exceptional students can also pursue a master of science degree in the same period as the bachelor of science. The combined BS/MS Degree in Materials Engineering differs from the standard BS degree in that there are two Co-op periods instead of three, and in the last two years specific graduate courses are taken instead of technical electives. For more information about this program, please visit the Department's BS/MS Dual Degree Program page.
