This curriculum follows the normal B.S. degree for three years, but adds typically two (but up to four) graduate level courses during the fourth year that are also applied to the subsequent M.S. program. The fifth year then includes the remaining graduate courses to bring the total to five, research credits and the Master’s Thesis. Students will generally apply to the Graduate College during the third year for official admission to the M.S. program immediately following completion of B.S. requirements. Admission to this program must precede enrollment in graduate courses.
