Combined Bachelor's/Master's Program

The Combined Bachelor's/Master's Program offers WPI undergraduates an opportunity to earn a bachelor's and a master's degree from WPI concurrently in less time than would be required if the student were to complete work on the bachelor's degree before beginning work on the master's degree.

For the master of science and master of engineering degrees, the Combined Program allows a student to complete requirements for both degrees in about one more year of full-time study than would be required to earn the bachelor's degree. With careful planning, a student can obtain a similar reduction in the amount of time required to earn an M.B.A. The time limit for completing the master's program varies by department from one to four years. Undergraduate students may apply up to four courses to the master's degree (varies by department) with prior written approval from professors and the academic department. See department descriptions for more information.

To gain the full benefit of this program, a student should apply for the Combined Program well before the bachelor's degree is completed. Application at the beginning of the junior year is recommended.
