Requirements for the Bachelor of Science Degree/Master of Science Degree Accelerated Program

The Accelerated BE/MS program is designed to allow Chemical and Molecular Engineering (CME) students in good academic standing to graduate with both a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in five years. This is made possible by allowing the students to take up to 6 credits of graduate courses to substitute for 6 credits of undergraduate specialization courses as an undergraduate student that can be counted towards the MS degree, consistent with the Graduate School policy. However, the undergraduates can only take graduate technical electives (not core courses), totaling 6 credits and completing the remaining 24 credits to fulfill the 30-credit requirement for completion of the M.S. degree in Chemical and Molecular Engineering in their fifth year. 

Students who transfer to Stony Brook must complete at least one semester at Stony Brook before they will be considered for admission to the five-year BS/MS program and decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis to ensure they meet all other requirements to qualify for the combined degree program.

Please follow the requirement for the MS in CMS to complete the degree.
