PlusOne with MS in Product Development
PlusOne with MS in Product Development
Overview
Accelerated Master’s degrees allow students to accelerate the attainment of the master’s degree by applying graduate credits taken as an undergraduate toward both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Current students apply to enroll in the Accelerated Master’s Program.
With the PlusOne program, students attain their bachelor’s degree followed by a PlusOne year to complete the master’s degree.
Below are the eligible undergraduate majors available to pursue a PlusOne pathway with a master’s degree in Product Development. Also, review the Accelerated Master’s link for further details, including program policies and procedures, as well as how to Apply.
Acceptable Undergraduate Pathways
| Eligible Undergrad Majors | Additional Prerequisites |
| BS in Bioengineering (and all combined majors) | |
| BS in Electrical Engineering (and all combined majors) | |
| BS in Mechanical Engineering (and all combined majors) | |
| BFA Design |
Graduate Course Sharing
Students currently pursuing their Bachelor’s degree should refer to their undergraduate program’s guidelines on how the graduate courses can be shared with their undergraduate degree. College of Engineering undergraduate students should refer to their Plan of Study page.
