Bachelor of Science degree + Master of Science in Bioengineering

University of California, Riverside (Engineering)

The college offers a combined B.S. + M.S. program in Bioengineering designed to lead to a Bachelor of Science degree as well as a Master of Science Degree in five years. The ideal plan route for the M.S. portion is Plan II (Comprehensive Exam) as it tends to follow the five year timeline . However, the program permits students to elect Plan I ( Research Thesis), if applicable. It is important for students who elect to do Plan I (Thesis) to possess a satisfactory amount of research previous to their M.S. year. Students are highly encouraged to discuss their possibilities of pursuing the M.S. degree through Plan I with their Advisor. Students must notify the Graduate Advisor of Enrolled Students (Dr. Hyle Park, hylepark@engr.ucr.edu) which of these two options they wish to pursue within their first quarter in the program. Any changes from one Plan to the other must be discussed with and approved by both the Graduate Advisor of Enrolled Students and the student's Research Advisor.
