BS/MS Program

The BS/MS program is an accelerated dual degree program which allows NJIT undergraduate students to earn credits toward a MS degree, and earn both degrees in five years. 

BS/MS Program

The BS/MS program permits undergraduates to earn course credits toward a master's degree while being enrolled as an undergraduate student. Students in BS/MS normally take 6 credits of graduate course work starting in their junior or senior year. Exceptional students with a cumulative GPA higher than 3.5 may take 9 credits of graduate course work. All other students will require a minimum GPA of 3.0 to double-count up to 6 credits. These credits may be counted toward both a bachelor's degree and a following master's degree. Students are encouraged to pursue graduate study immediately following the completion of the bachelor's degree. Students who may wish to start pursuing a graduate degree later should keep in mind that courses expire after seven (7) years. The graduate advisor will determine the graduate-level courses taken for the NJIT undergraduate degree that will also count toward the graduate degree.  Graduate study may be completed full or part-time.

Full-time undergraduate students become eligible to apply for program acceleration after they complete at least five courses in their major and have maintained a GPA of 3.0 or better. Students in the Albert Dorman Honors College are pre-approved for the BS/MS program at the time of admission to NJIT but will receive letters about activating their status in BS/MS if their GPA is still above 3.0 and have earned between 57 and 110 undergraduate credits. The activation letter will instruct Honors College students about contacting the academic department undergraduate advisor. Applicants must satisfy all university requirements for admission to graduate programs (they must eventually submit an application to Admissions).
