Is a graduate degree necessary in your future?
What is separating you from a master’s degree? In many cases it’s simply two semesters! Many degree programs at Mines offer you the opportunity to begin work on a graduate certificate, professional master’s degree, or master’s degree while completing the requirements for your bachelor’s degree at Mines. These combined BS/MS programs are accelerated programs designed with you in mind.
Graduate admissions process
If you are an undergraduate student at Mines and interested in a combined program or taking graduate level courses as an undergraduate we encourage you to visit the Graduate Office located in Guggenheim Hall, Room 125. We are happy to discuss with you the process and to clarify what is required and what is not. Please ask for Kay Leaman or Jahi Simbai.
