The accelerated BSIT/MSSWE is for students interested in immediately continuing their undergraduate studies in information technology with graduate studies in software engineering.

Admission Requirements

Students in the BSIT program can apply for the accelerated BSIT/MSSWE program if they have earned 90 undergraduate credits with an overall GPA of at least 3.30. Criteria for admissions to the accelerated BSIT/MSSWE program are identical to the criteria for admission to the MS in software engineering program.

Degree Requirements

Students have to complete all credits that satisfy both the requirements for the BSIT Program and those for the MS Program, with six credit hours overlapping with SWE 619 and SWE 622.

Degree Conferral

Students in the accelerated BSIT/MSSWE program may apply to have the BSIT degree conferred during the semester in which they expect to complete the BSIT requirements. At the completion of the MS requirements, a master's degree is granted.
