ISE 4910/4920 Application
Dual B.S. and M.S. in Industrial Engineering
The accelerated option allows students to earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree within five years. Eligible students who have completed at least 90 credit hours with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher are eligible. The academic requirements of the accelerated M.S. program will require a total of 30 graduate credit hours to graduate. Accepted undergraduate students can take up to 12 hours of graduate level courses that will count toward both the undergraduate and the graduate degrees. Once the student has completed 126 credit hours (includes at least 15 credit hours of dual enrollment), the corresponding bachelor’s degree will be conferred, and they will become graduate students in our MS program to complete the remaining 18 hours of graduate credit. A minimum of 12 credit hours must be from courses at the 8000 level or above, and of those classes 9 credit hours must be IMSE courses. The student’s graduate course GPA must be 3.0 or greater.
