This program is available to WPI undergraduate students wishing to combine one of the Business School's M.S. degrees with any WPI B.S. A separate and complete application to the B.S./M.S. program must be submitted. Admission to the B.S/M.S. is determined by the Business School. With careful planning, both degrees may be completed within the student’s four years of undergraduate study.
It is recommended that the B.S./M.S. application be submitted at the end of the student’s sophomore year of undergraduate study, and it is not recommended to apply later than the students junior year. The earliest a student's application will be reviewed is after they have completed C-term of their sophomore year. A student in the B.S./M.S. continues to be registered as an undergraduate until the bachelor’s degree is awarded. Students cannot take graduate business courses until they have been accepted into a graduate program.
To obtain a bachelor’s degree via the combined B.S./M.S., the student must satisfy all requirements for the bachelor’s degree, including distribution and project requirements. To obtain an M.S. via the combined B.S./M.S., the student must satisfy all M.S. degree requirements. Note: no undergraduate credit may be counted toward a graduate business degree.
The WPI Business School offers the following combined B.S./M.S. degrees:
- Business Analytics
- Information Technology
- Management (B.S./M.S. Only)
- Operations and Supply Chain Analytics
