Bachelor's-Accelerated Master's (BAM)

Students may earn the Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) degree as part of the Bachelor's鈥揂ccelerated Master's (BAM) degree program, which allows currently enrolled 黑料社区网 undergraduate students the opportunity to earn a bachelor's and master's degree in a shorter period of time. Students receive the bachelor's degree first, but begin taking graduate coursework as undergraduates (typically in their senior year).

This program will provide undergraduate students who have a strong interest in a leadership-focused education an opportunity to complement their technical degree with a ME-EM degree. This BAM program enables students to deepen their fundamental understanding of leadership, management, business and entrepreneurship through rigorous graduate courses. Once they have completed their BS degree, these students would have the option to pursue the ME degree while simultaneously working. The ME degree also offers greater access and flexibility to complete courses in person or online (asynchronously or synchronously).
