Accelerated B.S. ME and M.S. ME or NE
The Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering offers accelerated B.S./M.S. degree programs, in which students can earn bachelor’s and master’s degrees with 9 hours of overlapping of coursework.
Please visit the K-State Office of the Registrar's Accelerated Degree Program FAQs for more information.
Note for accelerated programs, simultaneously pursuing both an undergraduate and graduate degree involves added complexity to a student’s academic plan and careful attention to additional rules and guidelines is important. Being admitted to an accelerated program can impact scholarships, federal grants and loans, including Pell Grant status. Any student wishing to pursue an accelerated MNE degree must make an appointment with the department head to discuss the university practices and policies for these degrees.
