Early Entry MS in Mechanical Engineering
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers undergraduate students the opportunity to begin coursework toward the Master of Science during the senior year of their Bachelor of Science program. Students with senior-level status (at least 90 semester hours) and a cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale may be admitted to the MS program that allows them to earn graduate-level credit (400- and 500-level) during their senior year.An application for degree-seeking status as a graduate student must be approved by graduate admissions and the director of the mechanical engineering graduate program. A program outline must also be submitted for approval by graduate records and the director of the mechanical engineering graduate program prior to enrollment in any courses to be included as part of the master's program. Official admission to the graduate program and to status as a classified graduate student is made only after the award of the baccalaureate degree. In no case will a graduate degree be conferred before all requirements for both degrees have been completed.
Please note: Only current SIUE students are eligible for this program.
