Combined Degree Programs: (Undergraduate Degree / Master’s Degree)
The Combined BSME/MSME Program is an integrated five-year degree program in which
qualified students can receive a BS and an MS in Mechanical Engineering. The program
provides a seamless transition from the BS to MS programs for Purdue students where
graduate courses taken as undergraduate electives are counted toward both the BS and MS
degrees, thereby reducing the overall time required for the MS degree. This program is only
available at the West Lafayette campus.
