Cal Poly students can simultaneously earn bachelors and masters degrees when
they combine their senior project and thesis work.
If you are currently a Cal Poly undergrad and you have fewer than
150 credit units, you can apply to the
4+1 program and the
$55 application fee is waived. The
4+1 allows you to
combine your senior project and masters thesis; "double-counting"
13 credit units saves you money.
If you are not a Cal Poly undergrad, you are certainly eligible to
apply for our traditional
M.S. program.
You will receive the same opportunity to learn advanced technology
with an emphasis on engineering.
