Integrated B.M.E./M.S.M.E.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers an integrated bachelor's/master's degree program. The program makes it possible for students to earn a bachelor's degree (B.M.E.) and a master's degree (M.S.M.E.) in Mechanical Engineering in five years. The program has several benefits: a streamlined admissions process from the undergraduate program to the graduate program; graduate student status granted in the senior year; eligibility for teaching and research assistantships; and flexibility in fulfilling required courses for both degrees simultaneously in the last two years of study. Both the BME and MSME degrees must be completed in their entirety, with no courses shared between them. The graduate degree cannot be earned before the undergraduate requirements are satisfied. Admitted students who decide not to complete the MSME degree are permitted to count credits originally planned for the graduate program toward their undergraduate technical electives. Eligibility Requirements: - Students must be enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering undergraduate program at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. - Students who are within 32 semester credits completing the requirements for the BME degree are eligible to apply. - Students with a GPA of 3.25 or greater are preferred. For students who have transferred from another institution, at least one semester must be completed at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities before admission to the program will be granted.(美研部 侯老师/整理)
