理学学士/材料科学与工程理学硕士

该课程为优秀的本科生提供了获得学位的机会，即在BS学位以外的一年学习中获得硕士学位。（通常，获得理学硕士学位的时间比学士学位还要晚两年。）在该计划中，一名本科生最多可以修读9个学分，同时满足本科和研究生的要求。考虑合并BS / MS计划的学生应使用高级材料科学专业，并应与所在系的学术顾问协商后选择专业。通常，该课程的学生会在高三的秋季学期开始研究，从而获得MS论文。学士学位是在高年级结束时授予的。
The integrated BS/MS program is intended for highly motivated and qualified undergraduate students who wish to pursue an advanced degree. Students admitted to the program may, in their senior year, take up to nine credits of graduate courses that will count toward both BS and MS requirements.<br>Students should check with their faculty adviser or department chair about the availability of financial assistance (tuition waivers and/or stipend) for participation in this program. Interested students should apply to the BS/MS program after the completion of 75 semester hours of coursework and prior to attaining senior status (completion of 90 semester hours). Normally, this means that students will submit applications in the sixth semester of the BS program (usually the spring term of the junior year).
