Students enrolled in the BS/MS program must satisfy all the program requirements of their respective BS degree and all the program requirements of the MS degree in Learning Sciences & Technologies. WPI allows BS/MS students to double-count courses toward both their undergraduate and graduate degrees whose credit hours total no more than 40 percent of the 33 graduate credit hours required for the MS degree in Learning Sciences & Technologies (i.e., up to 13 graduate credits or equivalently 2 undergraduate units), and that meet all other requirements for each degree. These courses can include graduate courses as well as certain undergraduate 4000-level courses (listed below) that are acceptable for satisfying Learning Sciences & Technologies MS requirements. In consultation with the student’s major Academic Advisor and the Learning Sciences & Technologies Program Director, the student prepares a Plan of Study outlining the selections made to satisfy the BS/MS degree requirements, including the courses that will be double-counted. This Plan of Study must then be approved by the Learning Sciences & Technologies Faculty Steering Committee.
Admissions Requirements
Any WPI undergraduate student may apply to the BS/MS program in Learning Sciences & Technologies. Students are expected to apply for admission to the BS/MS program during their junior year so that they have sufficient time to plan their course selection with their major Academic Advisor and the Learning Sciences & Technologies Program Director
