BS/MS OPTION
The BSMS Option allows eligible students to double count a maximum of 6 credit hours toward undergraduate and graduate requirements while still completing all other program requirements to earn both degrees.
BS in Industrial Engineering students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher who have taken ISYE 3133 and ISYE 3232 are eligible to apply to utilize the BSMS Option. BSIE students must also graduate with a GPA of 3.5 or higher in order to utilize the BSMS Option.
It is typical for students to use 6 hours from the BSIE concentration electives to count as Core Courses or Technical Electives for the MS in Health Systems degree. Students will need to consult with an advisor to indicate which courses are sharing with the graduate degree in DegreeWorks.
