The Materials Science & Engineering Program offers a B.S./M.S. program for currently enrolled WPI undergraduates. There is no undergraduate B.S. degree option in Materials Science & Engineering; the B.S. portion of this combined degree may be in any other discipline.
Students should apply to B.S./M.S. program during their junior year. In addition to general college requirements, all courses taken for graduate credit must result in a GPA of 3.0 or higher. A grade of B or better is required for any course to be counted toward both degrees. Waiver of any of these requirements must be approved by the Materials Science and Engineering Graduate Committee, which will exercise its discretion in handling any extenuating circumstances or problems.
Students enrolled in a BS/MS degree program must complete the Bachelor's and Master's Degree Course Designation Form and have the form signed by the Program Graduate Coordinator or Program Head. The form can be found on the registrar's website.
Students intending to graduate with a BS/MS degree at the same time should submit the Bachelor's and Master's Degree Course Designation Form to the registrar's office in the same semester they intend to graduate. Otherwise, the form should be submitted during the first semester after a student graduates with their Bachelor's Degree.
