Students in the Bachelor of Individualized Study (BIS) Program may apply to the Accelerated MS in AIT Program while they are undergraduate students. Accelerated students must satisfy requirements for the BIS (including 120 credits) and the MS (30 credits), with six credits of overlap permitted (total of 144 credits).
Mason undergraduate students in the BIS Program can apply in the semester in which they will have completed 90 or more credits (including 15 Mason resident credits) applicable toward the BIS with an overall GPA of at least 3.30. Criteria for admission are identical to criteria for admission into the MS in AIT Program, except that students do not need to have completed an undergraduate degree prior to acceptance into the accelerated program.
Once accepted into the accelerated program, students must maintain a minimum 3.30 GPA in the undergraduate segment until they have satisfied all requirements for the BIS degree.
AIT courses that may be taken by a BIS undergraduate student to count toward both BS and MS degrees are listed in the table below. Note: All of the prerequisite courses indicated below must be passed with a grade of C or higher.
