Accelerated Degree Programs
5-Year Joint BS/MS Degree Program
Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCE) or Bachelor of Science (BS) to
Master of Science (MS) Program
General Information
This program enables qualified FAU undergraduate computer science and engineering students to obtain both their BSCE or BS and MS degrees
in approximately five years, by allowing 9 credits of approved
coursework to apply toward both degrees. This essentially takes away one semester of course work and offers an
attractive option for enthusiastic students planning for their graduate education. To be eligible for the joint programs, computer engineering and computer science students should:
- Have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or better at the end of their junior year.
- Attain a score of 1000 or better (verbal and quantitative) on the GRE taken at the beginning of their senior year; and
- Formally apply to one of the joint programs, completing the admissions process at least one semester prior to the beginning of the MS porion of their program.
Once admitted to the program of their choice, students begin taking graduate courses in their senior year that would apply to both the bachelor's and master's degree programs. A maximum of 9 credits can be applied to both programs. Students in the joint programs must maintain enrollment to remain in good standing. Students must also meet all the degree requirements of the graduate program they have chosen, including core courses and prerequisites. Those students who complete the MS degree program within one year after the completion of their BSCE or BS degree program will be presented with a certificate of recognition.
