This accelerated dual degree program permits undergraduates to earn credits toward a master's degree. Students take 6 credits of graduate course work in their senior year. These may be counted towards both a bachelor's degree and a following master's degree if enrollment as a graduate student in the master's degree program occurs within two years of completion of the bachelor's degree. After enrollment as a graduate student, those who wish to apply the 6 credits to the graduate degree program should contact the Office of Graduate Studies. Graduate study may be completed full- or part-time. Full-time undergraduate students become eligible to apply after they complete at least five courses in their major, and have maintained a GPA of 3.0 or better. Students must submit the application for admission to the B.S./M.S. program to the Office of Graduate Studies no later than one year prior to graduation. Applicants must fulfill all university requirements for admission to graduate programs. Some programs will require submittal of GRE or GMAT scores. For all others, these are highly recommended. Information and applications can be obtained from the Office of Graduate Studies, (973) 596-3462. Several other combinations of bachelor's and master's degrees exist or are under development. The number of dual-use credits for these combinations may exceed 6 credits in accordance with specific program requirements. An example is the B.Arch./M.S. in Management program, which allows 12 dual-use credits.
