Go to BS/MS program description. Available to OSU students, this program permits students earning a Bachelor's degree to "double count" up to 15 credits of undergraduate course work toward completion of a Master's degree. Includes minimum admission requirements, procedures, and further information.
GE-ACE program description
Go to GE-ACE program description. The General Electric Corp. provides qualified employees the opportunity to earn a Master's without Thesis degree. GE-ACE students are provided sabbatical time to attend classes in the MSE department. Additionally, students may use GE A & B Course time toward fulfillment of MS non-thesis degree requirements.
Graduate non-degree program
Link to information on the Graduate Non-Degree program. Graduate non-degree students take graduate level course work for personal enrichment, professional development, certification or to familiarize themselves with the rigors of a graduate program before applying. Graduate non-degree students are admitted to the university, not to a specific degree granting, graduate program. Graduate non-degree status is also appropriate for students actively pursuing a graduate degree at another college or university, and who wish to earn graduate credit for transfer back to that institution.
