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 6 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 (600-level) coursework during their senior year and transfer those credits toward their MS program of study.
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.
