B.S.-M.S. in Electrical Engineering :: Fairleigh Dickinson University

The University offers a five-year program that allows qualified students to attain a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (B.S.E.E.) and a Master of Science (M.S.) in Electrical Engineering with a combined degree load that is 9 credits less than that of the separate degrees.

Students must register for this program by their junior year and must have achieved a cumulative grade point ratio of at least 2.75.
