Integrated Master’s programs
Get your master’s degree sooner. If you qualify, you can
count six units of major electives toward both your bachelor’s and master’s
degree through our integrated BS/MSE.
Program requirements:
- Admission to the Integrated Bachelor’s/Master’s
Program requires a GPA of 3.25 cumulative and 3.5 in your major; the GRE is not
required.
- Submit
an application for the Integrated Bachelor’s/Master’s Program once you
have completed 60 semester hours with at least a 3.25 GPA, 24 hours of which
were completed at NAU, with at least 12 hours being EE prefix classes with
a GPA of 3.50. You must apply and be admitted before you take any of the credits that will be used for both
degrees. You will maintain
undergraduate status (for tuition and financial aid purposes) while taking
graduate classes until you receive your BS degree.
- Students
must submit an undergraduate application for graduation (BS) during the
term before their expected graduation (which must be at least one semester
prior to your MS graduation).
Upon posting of your BS degree, you will be granted full graduate
status and will be eligible for graduate assistantships and other graduate
financial awards.
- A
minimum of 128 units are required for the BS degree and 30 units for the
master’s degree. Up to 6 units can
apply to both degrees.
- All
required coursework for the bachelor’s degree must be completed with a
grade of C or higher with two D’s allowed in elective coursework;
coursework credited to both degrees must be completed with a grade of B or
higher.
- The master’s degree allows
for up to 6 units to be a combination of 400-level or individualized study
(either 685 - Graduate Research or 697 - Independent Study).
- Your
six undergraduate major electives that will be counted for both degrees
must be at the 400- or 500-level and must be approved by your graduate
committee; for co-convened classes that count for both degrees, you must
take the 500-level option.
