Combined Degree Programs
at Fairleigh Dickinson University

SEET now offers the following five-year programs:

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering with an M.S. in Electrical Engineering
• B.S. in Electrical Engineering with an M.S. in Computer Engineering
  
  

• This is applicable to both the new and old undergraduate curriculums.
• The combined degree load in three or six credits less than that of the separate degrees.
• Admission to the joint degree program requires an undergraduate cumulative grade point ratio of 2.5 or higher.
• Admission must be requested by the end of the junior year.
• The regular undergraduate curriculum is followed for the first three years.
• In the fourth year, two 3-credit technical electives are replaced with two 3-credit graduate courses (only one in the case of students in the co-op program desiring the Computer Engineering degree). Students desiring the Computer Engineering degree also must take CSCI2232 as a technical elective.
• In the fifth year, students take nine or ten 3-credit graduate courses.

Below are the modifications to the new (effective Fall 2001) BSEE curriculum for those who opt for a five-year dual degree curriculum. Students on the old curriculum simply use their technical elective slots as described above:

• Through Semester 7 - same as standard BSEE with Co-op program
• 8^th Semester

• B.S. in Construction Engineering Technology with an M.S. in Systems Science (Environmental Studies Concentration)
  
  
  • Four undergraduate courses (12 credits) will be replaced by graduate environmental studies electives during the first four years.
  • Eight graduate courses (24 credits) will be taken in the fifth year.
  • Admission to the joint degree program rquires an undergraduate cumulative grade point ratio of 2.50 or higher.
  • The graduate cumulative grade point ratio must be 2.75 or higher in order to be permitted to enter the fifth year of the program.
