Completion requirements

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers an integrated bachelor's/master's degree program. The program makes it possible for students to earn a bachelor's degree (BME) and a master's degree (MSME) in Mechanical Engineering in five years. The program has several benefits: a streamlined admissions process from the undergraduate program to the graduate program; graduate student status granted in the senior year; eligibility for research assistantships; and flexibility in fulfilling required courses for both degrees simultaneously in the last two years of study.

Eligible applicants must be University undergraduates within 32 semester credits of completing the BME degree, with a minimum 3.25 GPA preferred.

Both the BME and MSME degrees must be completed in their entirety, with no courses shared between them. The graduate degree cannot be earned before the undergraduate requirements are satisfied. Admitted students who decide not to complete the MSME degree are permitted to count credits originally planned for the graduate program toward their undergraduate technical electives.
