1. UD
undergraduate engineering students with a GPA of 3.0 or better at the time of application are eligible to apply.
Students should apply during the second semester of their junior year. It is recommended that applications be
submitted no later than October 1 of a student’s senior year.
2. St
udents who meet the preliminary admission requirements will be provisionally accepted into the program. A letter
of acceptance will be sent to the student via email.
3. Al
l BPM Graduate Students will be charged a discounted rate equal to ½ of the undergraduate tuition rate per hour.
For nearly every student, this ensures that out-of-pocket tuition expenses are less in the 5th year than in the 4th.
BPM Graduate Student status normally lasts for only the four consecutive semesters subsequent to completing the
bachelor’s degree, after which normal graduate tuition will be charged. May graduates may begin BPM Graduate
Student status in the subsequent fall semester.
4. The
student will be permitted to enroll in graduate courses approved by both the student’s undergraduate
department and the graduate chair/program director of the program to which the student is seeking a master’s
degree. Undergraduates can enroll in more than six semester hours of graduate courses but, only six semester hours
will be counted toward both the B.S. and M.S. degrees.
5. Onc
e the student has successfully completed 75 percent of their undergraduate credit hours, they must apply to the
graduate program of their choice through the Graduate School’s on-line application process:

6. Students admitted will continue to be classified as undergraduate students until all undergraduate degree
requirements are completed. These students need to take 12 or more semester hours to maintain full-time status
and will be charged the standard tuition and fee rates applicable to undergraduate students. Graduate courses
taken for undergraduate credits will be assessed at the standard undergraduate tuition and fees. Under no
circumstance will a student be charged an amount in excess of the listed undergraduate full-time tuition and fees
amount (unless increased for overload hours as applicable). Upon successful completion of their undergraduate
requirements, students will receive their B.S. degree.
7. Whe
n students have completed their undergraduate requirements, they will be admitted into the appropriate M.S.
degree program with regular status, provided that they have maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher in both
their undergraduate and graduate course work.
8. Ma
ster’s degree students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of “B” (3.0) in their
course work. Students who fail to meet these standards are placed on academic probation or dismissed from the
program.
The
appropriate master’s degree will be conferred upon successful completion of the graduate requirements.
Of
ficial Master’s degree transcript will note that:
“Six semester hours of graduate work were earned as an undergraduate.”
