BS/Master Pathway

This option is available to Kettering University undergraduate students entering any Kettering University graduate program, either residential or online.

Kettering University undergraduate students interested in graduate study may elect to apply to the BS/ Master Pathway, which provides students with an opportunity to complete a baccalaureate degree while earning credit towards a graduate degree. This program is exclusively available to Kettering University undergraduate students and leverages the University’s premier academic programs. Students admitted to the BS/Master Pathway will complete the same total number of Co-op work terms as conventional undergraduate students.

Students can apply before graduating (after completing 90 undergraduate credit hours) or within four (4) years of obtaining their baccalaureate degree.
The student completes the baccalaureate degree, with the traditional undergraduate thesis (BS), and receives the degree at the conventional time.
Up to sixteen (16) credits or four courses, of *400 or 600 level credit, completed as an undergraduate, and for which a grade of B or better was earned, are also applied to the graduate degree. (Undergraduate capstone courses are not eligible.) (*400 level courses must be part of an approved 400/600-course offering.)
Twenty-four (24) graduate credits remain to meet the graduation requirement of 40 graduate credits for a degree (Master of Engineering students will need to complete six additional graduate courses to complete the graduation requirement).

Grade Requirements for Admission to BS/Master Pathway

A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required. Students with a GPA below 3.0 may be considered on an individual basis. The degree granting department will determine acceptance.

Other Requirements

Both part-time and full-time students may qualify for this program.
This program is only available to students who will receive (or have received) a Kettering University bachelor’s degree.
