The accelerated BS/MS program in Bioengineering is an integrated degree program in which qualified students can earn a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering (BNG) and a Master of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering & Biotechnology (BMEBT) in five years. The credit hour requirements are 120 for the B.S. and 31 for M.S. students. Students enrolled in this program can take up to nine (9) credits (three 500level or higher graduate courses) from the BMEBT-approved graduate courses approved as BS BNG Specializations. These courses will also be double-counted towards the MS program, thereby reducing the overall time required for the MS degree completion.<br><br>BS/MS program advantages<br><br>The accelerated, combined BS/MS program in Bioengineering is designed for highly motivated and qualified undergraduate students who wish to pursue an advanced degree.
