The admission requirements for this program are initially the same as those for the Bachelor of Science degree. Students should identify themselves as a BS/MS student as soon as possible, preferably during their first year. Then students must apply for admission into the graduate program by the end of their fourth year. The graduate admission requirements are the same as those for the Master of Science degree.
