Engineering Technology Management, Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Technology Management Master of Science (M.S.) [Manufacturing Concentration] Accelerated 3+2 Dual Degree Program
Students accepted to the 3+2 Accelerated Dual Degree Program are able to complete their B.S. degree and M.S. degree within five calendar years because of the accelerated curriculum and because nine semester hours of graduate coursework will apply to both the undergraduate B.S. degree and the graduate M.S. degree. Only undergraduate students of proven academic ability will be considered for the program. Students should be aware that, in order to maintain their progress in the accelerated 3+2 program, careful coordination with their advisor is required. Depending upon undergraduate progress at the time of 3+2 admission, some summer-school classes may be needed.
