Qualified undergraduate students may apply to this five-year program, which leads to a bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline and a master’s degree in systems engineering. The program can be completed in 144 credits. Applicants must be Mason undergraduate students majoring in systems engineering, computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or civil and infrastructure engineering. Students may apply after they have completed at least 90 credits applicable to the BS degree.
Students must have an overall GPA of at least 3.30 in courses applicable to the BS degree and must have successfully completed all MATH and PHYS requirements. Students must complete all requirements for the BS in their chosen major. Students in the accelerated program must apply to have the BS degree from the appropriate Volgenau School program conferred the semester before they expect to complete BS requirements. The MS degree is granted on completion of remaining courses.
Up to two courses (6 credits) of approved master’s level courses taken as part of the undergraduate degree may be applied to the graduate degree. These two courses may be chosen from the graduate courses in the following table. For BS candidates, these graduate courses replace the corresponding undergraduate courses listed. The undergraduate version of these courses may not be applied toward the MS degree.
Any other 500-level course may be applied to both the undergraduate and graduate degrees with approval of the advisor and SEOR department chair. |
