The BS/MS (2+3) BCBT program is an intensive track enabling academically qualified students to earn both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Biochemistry and Biotechnology within five years of full-time study. This pathway permits students to count 12 of the 30 required graduate credits toward their undergraduate degree (with College of Arts and Sciences approval), decreasing the total credit load. Graduate tuition rates apply to all courses counting toward the master's degree, while all standard B.S. and M.S. requirements still apply.
Degree Conferral
Both the Bachelor's and Master's degrees will be granted together upon fulfilling all program requirements. Essentially, students receive both diplomas at the conclusion of their studies.
Participants who formally exit the dual degree program after completing all B.S. requirements will still receive their undergraduate degree.
