Keep GPA strong
Plan to demonstrate you are prepared to enter into a graduate program by maintaining a strong GPA. Participating in summer internships early enhances your resume and secures evidence of early professional experience.
Begin to explore
Begin your 4+1 exploration with your assigned undergraduate advisor as early as possible (preferably Sophomore or latest by Junior year) to maximize potential for enrollment sequencing during your senior year.
When to apply
When classified as a junior, request an “Advisor Clearance Form” from your advisor and arrange an appointment with the graduate program advisor. You must complete 90-plus hours of undergraduate study to apply to the Graduate College.
How does it work?
The Combined 4+1 Degree Program offers a pathway for eligible students to complete a M.S. degree within five years. You do not have to graduate prior to enrolling in the M.S. program as qualified students in HTM can concurrently take up to 10 hours of graduate coursework that count for both degrees.
