4+1 Blended BS/MS Program

IME Department - Blended BS/MS Program (4+1)

The blended program provides motivated students with an accelerated route to the MS in Industrial Engineering (IE) or an MS in Engineering with a specialization in Integrated Technology Management (ITM), simultaneously conferring both bachelor's and master's degrees.  Students in the blended program are provided with a seamless process whereby they can progress from undergraduate to graduate status.  The blended program may allow students to earn graduate credit for several senior electives, effectively decreasing the summed unit requirements for both degrees.
