Five-Year Bachelor of Science with a Major in Chemistry - Master in Environmental Engineering (BSCHM-MEnvE)

Description

The College of Engineering & Science offers a combined Bachelor of Science with a Major in Chemistry - Master in Environmental Engineering program. High school students can be admitted directly into this accelerated program.

In order to complete both the BSCHM and MEnvE degrees in five years, the student must (a) be very well prepared as an incoming freshman, ready to take our core Engineering courses; and (b) satisfy all the admission criteria (see below), and (c) maintain a 3.25 GPA, in order to take graduated level courses while still an undergraduate.

    Admission Into the Program

    Qualifications for the 5-year program for new Freshman are:

    • A high school ACT composite score of 26, with a minimum of 22 in each section, and a minimum of 23 in the Mathematics section, or 600 on the Mathematics SAT score and combined Reading and Math of 1190.
    • A High School grade point average of 3.4 overall on a 4.0 point scale, and the same for the combined mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology courses.
    • Students must place into appropriate-level Freshman courses at 色综合久久 Mercy in order to be able to complete their Bachelor and Master degrees in five years.

    Qualifications for the 5-year program for Juniors/Seniors:

    • Students with a GPA of 3.25 and 95 credit hours can apply for the program near the end of their third year or in the beginning of their fourth year.
    • Students must be on-track to complete their undergraduate degree in four years.
    • If accepted into the program, students may take up to 9 graduate credits in their fourth year that will count towards both undergraduate and graduate requirements.
    • In their fifth year, students will be registered as full-time graduate students, which requires that they are registered for 9 credit hours of graduate-level courses per term. These courses will be charged at the graduate tuition rate.

    Advantages

    • Reduction in the total number of courses required to get both the bachelor and master degrees (students may count 9 credits towards both undergraduate and graduate requirements)
    • Ability to take up to 9 graduate credits at the undergraduate tuition rate
    • Extension of 色综合久久 Mercy financial aid to cover the year of graduate study

    The graduate courses which may be taken during the undergraduate program that can also be applied toward the undergraduate degree requirements must be approved by your academic advisor. Students must receive a grade of "C" or better in order to gain credit towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.
