In order to encourage outstanding UMass Lowell undergraduate degree students to continue their studies towards an advanced degree, qualified students may transition to the Bachelor’s-to-Master’s Degree Option (Bachelor's-to-Master's programs include the Fast Track to Teaching and Plus 1 programs.) Upon the completion of this program, students earn both Bachelor and Master of Science degrees.
This option carries distinct benefits. Two major benefits include:
- You can count some CS courses for both your undergraduate and graduate degrees
- You do not need to take the GRE when you apply through the combined BS/MS program
Any UMass Lowell undergraduate junior or senior with a grade point average of 3.000 or better may apply to a Master’s degree program at UMass Lowell under the Accelerated Bachelor’s-to-Master’s Degree Option. For more information on eligibility requirements, refer to the Academic Catalog’s Bachelor’s-to-Master’s page.
How to transition to Bachelor's-to-Master's programs
Undergraduate students are requested to apply to transition by submitting the application for transition found on the Undergraduate Bachelor's-to-Master's page. Students normally apply to transition in the second semester of their third year as an undergraduate (up until the last day of classes in their final semester before graduation).
