BS/MS programs are an opportunity to start working on your Master of Science degree while fulfilling requirements for your Bachelor of Science. Specifically, admitted undergraduate students can use a maximum of 6 graduate units for both the BS and the MS degrees.

These degree programs lead to both a BS and MS at the end of the five years.

Two concurrent BS/MS degree programs are available for computer science students:
