A combined bachelor\u2019s\/master\u2019s degree provides students with a number of distinct advantages:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Students graduate with a competitive edge in the job market.<\/li>\n
  2. Master\u2019s degrees can usually be completed in one year instead of two as undergraduate courses may be counted toward the master\u2019s degree.<\/li>\n
  3. After a Johns Hopkins student completes eight semesters and earns a bachelor\u2019s degree, the Whiting School of Engineering will pay 50% of the student\u2019s tuition every semester while he or she is a graduate student.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Eligibility and Application Process<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • This program is available to any WSE undergraduate.<\/li>\n
    • Students are encouraged to discuss interest in the combined program with their advisor during the junior year to make sure they are well positioned to gain maximum benefit from the program.<\/li>\n
    • The application can be submitted at any time, beginning with the first semester of your junior year and ending with the first semester of your senior year. If the first semester of your senior year is the fall semester, you must submit your application by December 20th, 11:59 PM. If the first semester of your senior year is in the spring, the deadline to apply is October 13th at 11:59PM. If you missed the deadline, please speak with the academic program coordinator about alternative entry into the program.<\/li>\n
    • Admission decisions are made on academic performance that includes undergraduate GPA. Students are required to submit a statement of purpose and two letters of recommendation.<\/li>\n
    • ECE Graduate Policy on Double-Counting Courses: WSE policy allows Bachelors-Masters students to double-count two courses<\/strong> (400 level or higher), but also states that \u201cIf an individual program adopts double-counting policies stricter than these, the program\u2019s policies override the school-wide policies.”\u00a0<\/span>ECE does not allow double-counting undergrad courses towards a Master’s Degree.<\/strong> <\/span>Credits can only be used to fulfill requirements under one degree, not both.<\/b><\/li>\n
    • Undergraduate students can use 400 level courses to fulfill master\u2019s level requirements while they are still registered as undergraduates, but once their undergraduate degree has been conferred, they must register for 600+ level courses.<\/li>\n
    • Please note that the four-year degree program and the combined BS\/MSE program have identical requirements for the BS portion of the degree.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
