The accelerated B.S. and M.S. program enables eligible students to obtain both a B.S. and M.S. in Biomedical Engineering in as little as five years by taking approved graduate courses during their final undergraduate year. Participants can apply up to six credit hours (non-thesis option) or 12 credit hours (thesis option) of graduate coursework toward both degrees. This allows students to complete both degrees with a minimum of 155 credits (non-thesis option) or 149 credits (thesis option), compared to the 161 credits required when pursuing the degrees separately. Graduates with these combined degrees gain an advantage for industry careers or academic advancement. The M.S. degree offers formal research training, leading to broader employment prospects, enhanced career growth potential, and increased starting compensation.
