Accelerated BS-MS Program

                 

About the Program

The CECS Accelerated Bachelor’s-to-Master’s (BS-to-MS) Programs allows high-achieving UCF current undergraduate students to simultaneously earn both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees. Qualified students can begin their Master’s degree course work while they are undergraduate juniors/seniors and double-count up to 12* credit hours of specific graduate courses for both their Bachelor’s and Master’s degree requirements. The intention of the program is to provide a framework for students to complete requirements for the Master’s degree in significantly less time than would normally be required if both BS and MS degrees were pursued separately.

 

 

General BS – to – MS Information Session: Monday, September 23rd@ 5:00-6:00PM (Register here)

If you missed the Information Session on September 23rd, here is the video from the meeting.

To get an a preview of what will be presented, please review the slides from a prior meeting.

* All of CECS’s Accelerated BS-to-MS programs are available in the face-to-face modality; however, many of its graduate courses are available as either face-to-face (P), online (W), mixed (M), and/or reduced seat time (RA or RS).

** While licensure or certification may be available in this field of study, our program does not directly lead to such licensure or certification upon graduation. The professional preparation you receive in our program may still assist you in such pursuits; however, we are unable to confirm the specific licensure and certification requirements of each state, territory, or foreign entity in which professional credentialing may be possible. If you intend to pursue such credentialing in your state or elsewhere, we strongly advise you to contact the applicable state credentialing authority to familiarize yourself with its specific requirements and determine if our program meets its academic criteria. Alternatively, you are welcome to contact us at 407-823-2455 or gradengr@ucf.edu with questions in this regard and we will do our best to assist you in your career planning.

                  

Expectations for BS-to-MS Students:

  • Students admitted to the program should submit their BS to MS Course Approval Form. The UCF Graduate Affairs will register you for your approved graduate courses once your enrollment appointment is open.
  • Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA while in the program.
  • Student must complete at least 9 credit hours to apply to the accelerated track for their graduate admissions application. Only those that complete 9 credit hours can apply for a graduate application processing fee waiver.

Timeline for BS-to-MS Students:

After completing at least 60 credit hours, achieving a 3.0 UCF GPA or better, and completing the listed pre-requisite course work with a B or better.

Current UCF undergraduate students, who are not part of the BS-MS program, can begin taking graduate courses by completing an Override Form. You can choose a course from these suggested graduate courses. It must be approved by your department’s undergraduate program director. This must be completed prior to the first week of classes for any given semester.

  • Students must complete the BS to MS Course Approval Form. This form will also register you for these courses. If you change your mind about a course, you can remove it from your schedule but many entry graduate-level courses are closed before the term begins.
  • Complete your online application to the graduate program. If you have completed or will complete 9 graduate credit hours, please contact Anna Canlon at anna.canlon@ucf.edu to request a waiver code. You must request this code BEFORE submitting your application.
  • Begin your graduate program and during your first semester you must complete a Graduate Program of Study to formally transfer your graduate courses you successfully completed during your undergraduate career toward your graduate degree.

Senior Scholars:

The Senior Scholars Program is an opportunity for outstanding undergraduate students to complete graduate level coursework prior to completion of their bachelor’s degree.  This is ideal for eligible BS to MS students that do not have at least two semesters left in their undergraduate career.

Senior Scholar students must meet the following conditions:

  • Students must have a 3.0 UCF and Major GPA. Computer, Electrical, Civil and Environmental students must have a 3.2 Major GPA.
  • Earn a B or better in the graduate course’s prerequisite course work.
  • Submit an Override Form..

There is NOT a formal application for this program.  Qualified students can complete up to 9 credit hours of graduate course work, but no more than 2 graduate classes per term.
