The Swenson College of Science and Engineering offers an integrated Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (BSChE) and Master of Science in Chemical Engineering (MSChE) degree. The integrated BSChE/MSChE program offers students the opportunity to earn a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in five years. The integrated program offers the benefits of a streamlined pathway from the undergraduate to the graduate program and flexibility in fulfilling required courses for both degrees during the senior year (up to 9 credits of approved 5000-level courses can be applied to the MSChE). Students typically apply to the integrated program in spring of their junior year.
Eligibility requirements for the integrated program:
Application is open to UMD BSChE students who
- have a MSChE faculty advisor selected prior to admission
- hold a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or higher.

Both the BSChE and MSChE degrees must be completed in their entirety. The graduate degree cannot be earned before the undergraduate requirements are satisfied.
