Combined B.S.-M.S. Program
This five-year program, leading to a master's degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, is available to students in any undergraduate major. It offers the student an excellent opportunity to combine undergraduate and graduate studies in an integrated curriculum. Combination of the two programs extends the flexibility of the undergraduate curriculum to more advanced studies. Students in the B.S.-M.S. program can exploit the program's flexibility by taking graduate courses toward the graduate degree while still completing the undergraduate degree requirements.
The B.S-M.S. program offers early admission to the graduate program in Computer Science or Computer Engineering in the junior or senior year and allows you to complete the master's degree in only one additional year of study (instead of the usual 3 semesters), while also earning a bachelor's degree in your chosen major. Each master's level Computer Science or Computer Engineering course that you take at Washington University that is not counted toward your undergraduate degree can be counted toward the 30 units required for the M.S. In addition, you may count up to 6 units of eligible Computer Science or Computer Engineering courses toward both the bachelor's and master's degree requirements. (You must still complete a total of 150 units.) Taking advantage of this program can result in a financial advantage, since the total time to completion is shortened and undergraduate tuition is lower than graduate tuition. Also, if you choose to do a Master's Project or Master's Thesis, this program gives you the flexibility to spread the research work over a longer period.
If you plan to apply to this program, it is recommended that you complete at least an undergraduate minor in computer science, three additional computer science courses at the 400 level, and one at the 500 level during your first four years. See the sample schedule for the B.S.-M.S. program.
To apply for the B.S.-M.S. program, complete the graduate admissions online application. The application process is identical to that for the regular M.S., except that you are not required to take the GRE's and the application fee is waived. Be sure to check the box marked "B.S.-M.S." on the form. Note: If you will be receiving a stipend as a Master's student, you may need to take the GREs.
