Bachelor of Science/Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering

University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth

This fast-track program enables outstanding BS degree students in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering to complete both the BS and the MS degrees with nine fewer total credits. This is accomplished by students taking their two ELE or CPE technical electives at the ECE 500 level and using either ECE 471 (ELE) or ECE 457 (CPE) towards both the BS and MS degrees. Because of the nature of the fast paced BS/MS Program, students must meet with faculty early in their senior year to find someone willing to supervise the MS thesis or project and define a clear graduate program of study reviewed and approved by the student's graduate advisor. The students should work with their undergraduate advisor to select the technical elective(s) that will count towards the BS and MS degrees. The students must be formally accepted into the BS/MS program before certification for the BS degree otherwise the graduate courses taken in the senior year will not be double counted.
