Integrated B.S.E.E./M.S.E.E
The Swenson College of Science and Engineering offers an integrated Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) and Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) degree. The integrated BSEE/MSEE program offers students the opportunity to earn a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in five years.
The integrated program offers the benefits of a streamlined pathway from the undergraduate to the graduate program and flexibility in fulfilling required courses for both degrees during the senior year (up to 9 approved 5xxx credits can be applied to the MSEE). Students typically apply to the integrated program in spring of their junior year.
Eligibility requirements for the integrated program:
Application is open to UMD BSEE students who
· hold a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.30
· provide letters of recommendation from two Electrical Engineering faculty members
· have an MSEE faculty advisor selected prior to admission
Both the BSEE and MSEE degrees must be completed in their entirety. The graduate degree cannot be earned before the undergraduate requirements are satisfied.
