Engineering (BS/MSE) program enables undergraduates to apply for and begin taking courses towards a master鈥檚 degree before completing their bachelor鈥檚 degrees. Most students apply for the program in their junior year and finish both degrees within five years.</p> <p>It is not necessary for your undergraduate major and your master鈥檚 degree to be in the exact same field. For example, many computer science undergraduates choose the concurrent program to get a<span> </span><a title="Go to JHUISI website" href="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/academic-programs/graduate-studies/ms-in-security-informatics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Master of Science in Security Informatics</a>. Mixing degrees is also an alternative to undertaking a double major in a closely-related field, such as a combination of computer science and computer engineering or math.</p> <p>As a <a href="https://engineering.jhu.edu/education/combined-degrees/combined-bachelors-masters-program/">combined degree student</a>, you must satisfy all the requirements of your bachelor鈥檚 degree as well as all the requirements of your master鈥檚 degree. Please note that some departments may permit an overlap of two courses at most. All other courses, including undergraduate electives, must be separate and distinct for the two degrees.</p> <h3>BS/MSE Eligibility</h3> <p>Students enrolled at JHU as second-semester third-years or rising fourth-years, as well as transfer students who may fall into any of these categories, are eligible to apply to the combined program.</p> <p>The Whiting School of Engineering requires that:</p> <ol> <li>An undergraduate student apply to combined student status no later than by the application deadline of the first semester of their fourth year (typically a student鈥檚 seventh semester, or in other words, their second-to-last semester of undergraduate study), and</li> <li>An undergraduate student be admitted and enrolled by their graduate program no later than the start of their eighth/final undergraduate semester.</li> </ol> <p>Seniors in their final semester cannot apply to the combined program, but can apply to the MSE program as a new graduate candidate and will receive the same benefits as students who applied earlier.</p> <h3>Application requirements</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://engineering.jhu.edu/admissions/graduate-admissions/full-time-programs/how-to-apply/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Combined application</a><span> </span>(NOT the internal graduate option)</li> <li>Two letters of recommendation</li> <li>JHU unofficial transcripts</li> <li>Statement of
