Integrated BS/MS >> Requirements
Admissions:
Students must complete and submit to the Graduate Student Affairs Office
the Application for Graduate Admission during the fourth quarter prior
to the receipt of the B.S. degree. To be eligible, students must have
completed the first two quarters of their junior year in residence at
UCSD and have an upper-division GPA of 3.5 or better and a 3.0 overall
UC GPA. In addition to the Application for Graduate Admission, students
must submit a statement of purpose and a letter of recommendation from
a Bioengineering faculty member. It is the responsibility of the prospective
B.S./M.S. student to select a Bioengineering faculty member who is willing
to serve as the student’s advisor. The deadline for Fall 2008 is Friday, May 23. The online application
can be found at http://graduateapp.ucsd.edu, and will be available April 2008.
Curriculum:
Twelve units of Bioengineering graduate level courses must be completed
during the student’s senior undergraduate year, in addition to the
requirements for the bachelor’s degree; these twelve units will count
toward the requirements for the master’s degree only and must be taken
for a letter grade. The student will arrange (with their faculty advisor’s
approval) a schedule of courses for the senior year that will fulfill the
requirements for the B.S. degree while also serving the program planned
for the M.S. degree. Students are expected to meet the requirements for
the M.S. degree in one year (three consecutive academic quarters) from the
date of the receipt of the B.S. degree. Students are also encouraged to
meet with the Undergraduate Advisor and Graduate Advisor to plan the undergraduate
and graduate courses to be taken during the senior year. |
