Program Description:
The combined BS/MS degree is designed to provide exceptional students at Syracuse University with the opportunity to “work ahead” and complete some of their future graduate-level degree requirements as an undergraduate student. Students accepted into the 5-year BS/MS program will be able share up to 7 credits of 500+ level coursework toward the completion of both degrees. They will also have the opportunity to complete up to 6 credits of graduate-only coursework and transfer those credits toward their MS program of study. Both shared and flagged credits will appear on the graduate transcript as a block of transfer credits labeled “transferred from SU undergraduate record”. These credits will not count toward graduate GPA calculations. A minimum grade of B is required to share or flag a course for transfer.
This combination of shared and transfer credit will allow the completion of both the Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and the Masters of Science in Chemical Engineering in five years. Admission:
Students currently enrolled in the Chemical Engineering BS program are eligible to apply to the 5-year BS/MS program during their junior year (have 3 semesters remaining). Interested students must submit an internal application packet to the department, as described below, prior to January 15th. Acceptance into the program is based on academic performance. Notification will be sent to students by February 15th. Students who are accepted into the 5 year BS/MS program will receive further application instructions at the time of acceptance. Students who are not accepted into the 5 year BS/MS program may still be offered early admission into the regular Chemical Engineering MS program, at the discretion of the department.
