Chemistry BS to materials Science & Engineering MS 

In your "+1" year or the semester in which you formally start your MS degree, you can add the Semiconductor Processing certificate. There's a separate admissions application to add the certificate. The application has its own fee. Once admitted to the accelerated master's program, you can discuss the certificate further with your assigned 4+1 academic advisor. 

Here are some important things to note: 

• Any 500-level courses taken during your undergraduate career cannot be shared with the certificate. Any required certificate courses must be completed in your "+1" year and can be shared with your MS degree through technical elective.  Commonly, to have the greatest opportunity to share credit, doing a non-thesis track is encouraged.

• You can find certificate required courses in the following check sheet. These are the courses to avoid taking in your senior year of the accelerated master's program:  https://sites.google.com/asu.edu/semtegraduateresources/checksheets/certificates/semiconductor-processing-certificate
