BS/Master's Degree

Rutgers School of Engineering students can take advantage of our accelerated master’s program that allows undergraduate students to add one more year of schooling to complete their graduate degree in engineering. Students may apply to either the Master of Science (MS) in Chemical Engineering or the Master of Engineering (ME) in Chemical Engineering.

Ideally suited for an undergraduate student in Chemical Engineering, it may be possible to pursue a BS/Master's in combination with another undergraduate major. 

The BS/Master's Program offers:

• An expedited graduate applications process for highly qualified students
• Added depth of knowledge inherent in graduate course work
• Earning a bachelor's and master's degrees in a shortened timeframe 
• A tailored graduate experience to fit students' interests and schedule
• School of Engineering may provide financial incentives for students joining the program 

• Applicants must be current Rutgers undergraduates
• GPA of 3.0
• GRE is NOT required
• Application fee is waived
• Application is processed through CBE department for expedited decisions
• Admissions are processed on a rolling basis - there are no deadlines
