BS/MS Option
The School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences offers a BSMS Option available to undergraduate students in the BS in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, BS in Environmental Science, or BS in Solid Earth and Planetary Sciences programs.
To be eligible for the BS/MS option, students must submit a formal application and have a minimum GPA of 3.0. Applicants are also required to complete at least 90 undergraduate credit hours prior to applying.
Students must maintain a cumulative 2.7 GPA once admitted as per Institute Master’s requirements.
Students may apply up to 6 credit hours of EAS courses (or, courses outside of EAS as approved by EAS advisors) completed at the undergraduate level to the Master's degree.
BSMS Option
Undergraduate College of Engineering, College of Sciences and Computer Science majors and Master of Science with a major in Management
This option is open to all undergraduate College of Engineering and Computer Science students. Students must submit a BSMS application meet admissions criteria to be considered for the option.
Students may double count up to 6 credit hours of letter-grade 4000-level College of Engineering (if COE major), College of Sciences (if COS major), or Computer Science (if CS major) courses towards electives in the Master of Science with a major in Management (MS-MGT) program. Course selection for double-counted 4000-level courses must be approved by the MS-MGT program advisor. Students must still complete the 12 credit hour MS-MGT core.
Students are encouraged to reach out to the Scheller College of Business for more information.
