Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

This BS/MS program is designed for undergraduate students interested in pursuing an MS degree in Software Engineering. The curriculum allows students to earn BS and MS degrees with potentially 16 fewer credits than if completing the degree programs separately.

The degrees are independent; each is awarded when completed, with specified courses accepted for the MS degree after the BS degree is awarded.

The dual program courses are offered in a variety of delivery formats including face-to-face, evening, mixed-mode and online.

Admission to the Program

The program is open to students who have completed at least 60 credits with a minimum GPA of 3.0 toward one of the relevant CIT undergraduate programs.
