B.S./M.S. Program

 

This program is only available to current UF students and is restricted to ECE students. The combined BS/MS degree program allows a qualified student to earn both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree simultaneously. Qualified students can begin their master's degree course work while undergraduate seniors, and double count a certain number of credit hours of specific graduation EE courses for both the bachelor's and master's degree requirements. In this way, the master's degree requirements can be completed within two to three semesters after the completion of the BS degree requirements. Seniors admitted into the combined BS/MS program will be eligible for teaching and research assistantships. The assistantship appointment includes a bi-weekly stipend plus a tuition matriculation fee waiver.

All double counted credit hours must be 5000 or 6000 level electrical engineering courses with a grade of B or higher. These may be double counted for credit as electrical engineering undergraduate technical electives and for the master's degree. The selection of courses must be approved by the Graduate Coordinator. Students interested in this program should contact the ECE Student Services Office in 230 Larsen Hall.
