Five-year BSME/MSME (4+1) Program

Undergraduate students in mechanical engineering at UT Tyler can chose to receive a master’s degree in a minimum of one additional year after completing the BSME graduation requirements. Students interested in this program must obtain department approval and maintain GPA of 3.0 or higher. They can take up to three graduate courses (nine credit hours) during their undergraduate studies. These courses will be counted toward their undergraduate degree, replacing technical electives, and will also be transferred as graduate courses if they receive a grade “B” or better.   These students will also benefit from programs which could be active in their year of admission such as the fast-track Patriot Admit program and a Graduate School application fee waiver. This option is also available to undergraduate students in the Honors Program in mechanical engineering.
