学生 who wish to work toward both a Bachelor’s degree in Construction, 工程, Electronics and Computer 工程 Technology may do so in our Accelerated Bachelor and Master program if the student meets all application requirements. This accelerated plan provides the opportunity for students to complete both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in an efficient and effective format, normally in five year.  Undergraduate students who meet all the application requirements and are selected for enrollment into the MTM program earn 硕士的 状态 as an undergraduate until they are officially graduated 与 their Bachelor’s degree and earn Graduate 学生的地位.  Once having earned 硕士的 状态, an undergraduate student is able to enroll in the graduate courses and follow the program plan outlined in the attached Accelerated bachelor to master’s Program Plan.

学生 interested in pursuing the Accelerated Bachelor and Master program must complete the following application requirements:
    1. By the start of 硕士的 状态, they must have either:

Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s 博天堂官方网站生学院 Policies

学生的地位 Once accepted into an Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s program, the student remains coded as an undergraduate student 与 硕士的 状态 and officially becomes coded as a graduate student once the student has earned the bachelor’s degree.  The student’s coding as an undergraduate or graduate student is associated 与 other BGSU policies pertaining to degree 状态.

Credit hour policies The following policies apply to students in all Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s programs.

1. After being accepted into an Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s program, students may take up to 12 credit hours of graduate credit while maintaining undergraduate 状态.
2. Subject to program approval, students may apply a maximum of 12 credit hours to both the bachelor’s and master’s programs.  然而, the ability to apply credit hours to both the undergraduate and graduate degree is influenced by each program’s minimum credit hour requirements (see policy #3).  Please note, credit hours will only appear once on the Academic transcript.
3. At the end of both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees, a student must have a minimum of 150 discrete semester credit hours (120 + 30 = 150 state of Ohio regulated minimum credits).  然而, it is also the case that if a graduate program is an approved program for more than 30 credit hours (e.g., 36), then students must have successfully taken at least that number of graduate credit hours (e.g., 36) somewhere on their transcripts.
   
4. 硕士的 students may enroll in 5000 and 6000 level graduate classes (not 7000).
5. All graduate policies pertaining to graduate credit hours, 时间到度, and other regulations are also applicable to Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s program students.

学费 学生 enrolled in Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s programs 与 硕士的 状态 will pay tuition at the undergraduate rate through the completion of the bachelor’s degree.  之后, students will be coded as graduate students and pay the graduate rate for tuition and fees.

金融援助 学生 will be eligible for financial aid based on their BGSU student 状态 as either an undergraduate or graduate student.  During a student’s 硕士的 状态, they remain coded as undergraduate students and may be eligible for financial aid but not graduate assistantships. Once students become regularly admitted graduate students 与 full graduate student 状态, they may be eligible for graduate-level financial assistance, including graduate assistantships 与 stipends and/or graduate tuition scholarships.

Program Withdrawal A student admitted to an Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s program 与 a 硕士的 状态 may 与draw from the program and continue as a traditional undergraduate student toward the completion of the bachelor’s degree.

Program Dismissal 学生 who fail to maintain minimum requirements for adequate academic graduate standing will lose 硕士的 状态, and as a result will be unable to continue taking graduate level courses. Under these conditions, if adequate standing is maintained for their undergraduate program, the student may continue in the bachelor’s degree program.

                                            Accelerated Bachelor and Master of Technology Management Program Plan  

学生 enrolled in the accelerated Bachelor and Master of Technology Management Program should follow the following course schedule for planning graduate work that begins while still enrolled as an undergraduate student, followed by the courses taken when fully enrolled as a graduate student in the MTM program.  In order to complete this plan in an accelerated format (4 years undergraduate + 1 year graduate). 学生 who choose the thesis option should expect the completion of their master’s degree program to take longer than an additional extra (5^th)年.
