工程科学，工程化学或物理专业的学生可以在大三结束时申请入读此特殊课程，从而在第四年末获得工程学士学位或理学学士学位，并获得理学硕士学位。五年级毕业。在大四学生中，该课程的学生将获得6个学分的研究生课程。在第五年级，该学生修了24个学分，其中至少18个学分是课程功课，而6个学分是ESM 599 Research。与常规MS计划相比，该计划的优势在于，学生可以在高年级开始其MS论文，并且在第五年仅需要24个学分，而常规MS学生则需要30个学分。有关MS学位要求的详细信息，请参见研究生课程主任。
An engineering science, engineering chemistry, or physics student may apply at the end of the junior year for admission to this special program, which leads to a Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Science degree at the end of the fourth year and a Master of Science degree at the end of the fifth year. In the senior year, a student in the program takes six credits of graduate courses. In the fifth year, the student takes 24 credits, of which at least 18 credits are coursework and 6 credits are ESM 599 Research. The advantages of this program over the regular M.S. program is that a student may start his or her M.S. thesis in the senior year, and that he or she needs only 24 credits in the fifth year as opposed to 30 credits for a regular M.S. student. For details of the M.S. degree requirements, see the Graduate Program Director.
