The accelerated Bachelor's and Master's program enables eligible students to obtain both a Bachelor of Science in Chemical and Life Science Engineering and a Master of Science in Engineering with a chemical and life science engineering specialization within five years by taking approved graduate-level courses during their final undergraduate year. Participants can apply up to six credit hours of graduate coursework toward both degrees. This approach reduces the total credit requirement to 150, compared to the standard 156 credits needed when pursuing the degrees independently. Graduates with these combined qualifications gain a competitive edge for industrial careers or academic pursuits. The Master's component offers valuable research experience, enhancing employment prospects, career growth potential, and initial earning potential.
