Admission Requirements & Application Process
Chemical and Molecular Engineering Accelearted BE/MS Program
The Accelerated BE/MS program enables Chemical and Molecular Engineering (CME) students in good academic standing to earn both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree within five years. Students may apply up to 6 credits of graduate electives (taken during the undergraduate program) toward both degrees, substituting 6 credits of undergraduate specialization coursework. These courses count toward the M.S. in accordance with Graduate School policy; however, only graduate electives (not core courses) may be taken at this stage. The remaining 24 credits are completed during the fifth year to fulfill the 30-credit M.S. requirement.
