A contiguous program leading to a bachelor of science and a master of science degree in nanoengineering is offered to a student with junior standing who has an upper-division GPA of 3.5 or better and a 3.0 overallUCSDGPA. <\/p>\n
During the last quarter of their junior year (more specifically, the fourth quarter prior to the receipt of theB.S. degree), students interested in obtaining theM.S. degree within one year following receipt of theB.S. degree may apply to the Department of NanoEngineering for admission to the program. Students must submit 3 letters of reference from their professors with their application. <\/p>\n
Students will meet the requirements of both theB.S. andM.S. program, such as courses and credits.There are no overlaps in courses.Upon completion of theB.S.\/M.S. program, students are not automatically eligible for admission to thePh.D. Program. <\/p>\n
What are the advantages of students doing aB.S.\/M.S.? <\/p>\n
- Students are admitted without having to take theGREsand will not need to pay the graduate application fee. <\/p>\n
- Students can start taking theM.S. required courses their senior year and therefore, take more graduate courses overall. <\/p>\n
- Students may be able to start aM.S. thesis project earlier. Note: Students still have bothM.S. plans as options (coursework or thesisM.S.). This does not reduce the number of courses to be taken in either degree. <\/p>\n
- AllM.S. students need to take 5 core classes as stated in the catalog. <\/p>\n
- Courses taken cannot be counted for both theB.S. and theM.S. program. <\/p>\n
TheM.S. program is intended to extend and broaden an undergraduate background and\/or equip practicing engineers with fundamental knowledge in their particular fields. The degree is offered under both the Thesis Plan I and the Comprehensive Examination Plan II. <\/p>\n
