Accelerated Masters Program

Summary

The Accelerated Master degree program gives outstanding bachelor’s degree students in Materials Science & Engineering a “fast-track” option to pursue their graduate degree (Master of Science or Master of Engineering) in Materials Science & Engineering. Interested students need to meet eligibility requirements and should apply in the second semester of their Junior year. Students in the accelerated master's program can enroll in up to 9 credits of 500-level courses during the last two semesters of their undergraduate career. These 500-level courses can be used to satisfy the degree requirements for both the bachelor's and master's degree.
