Bachelor of Science/Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

University of California - Santa Barbara

The combined BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering program at UC Santa Barbara seeks to prepare our undergraduate Mechanical Engineering students more deeply and broadly than the Bachelor's program alone. It is envisioned that BS/MS graduates will be highly sought-after by industry, and will have improved chances to enter top academic PhD programs.

This is a project-based Masters program. A distinctive feature of the program is the possibility to select graduate courses in several areas of emphasis in our current ME graduate program, as well as the ability to receive an optional initiation into business education through the UCSB Technology Management Program(link is external) (TMP).

The combined BS/MS program is structured so that the number of units required to obtain the combined BS/MS degrees will be the same number of units required to obtain the BS and MS degrees separately. Provisions are made to ensure that courses counted toward the BS degree will not be counted toward the MS degree, and vice-versa. The proposed program of study is similar to the other combined BS/MS degrees currently offered by the UCSB College of Engineering, such as those in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering.
