Accelerated BS/MS Degree Option

UMBC undergraduate students have the option of applying to the Engineering Management Master's program in their junior or senior year and earn up to nine credits towards the degree. Students benefit by shortening the time to degree completion, experience the cost savings of taking graduate courses at undergraduate tuition rates, experience flexible learning options (many courses taught in evening or in hybrid format), and gain practical knowledge and skills.
