The John and Willie Leone Family Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering offers integrated B.S./M.S. programs that are designed to allow academically superior and research-focused undergraduate students in any of our five B.S. degree programs—Energy Business and Finance (EBF); Energy Engineering (ENENG); Environmental Systems Engineering (ENVSE); Mining Engineering (MNGE); and Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (PNGE)—also to obtain an M.S. degree in Energy and Mineral Engineering (EME) within five years of study.
Students interested in the five-year Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate (IUG) program should apply for admission to the program prior to the start of their next-to-last undergraduate semester. Students must be admitted to the IUG program no later than the end of the second week of the semester preceding the semester of expected conferral of their undergraduate degree. The IUG program is available for current undergraduate students of the Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering with 6th semester standing to obtain a M.S. in Energy and Mineral Engineering with their B.S.
In the first three years IUG students will follow the course scheduling of the undergraduate major in the department (see the Undergraduate Bulletin). Students interested in the IUG program will, however, be encouraged to take upper-level classes, whenever appropriate. An admitted student will begin the senior year working towards the B.S./M.S. with an M.S. Advising Committee. The student will follow the course scheduling of the B.S. major while also taking 500-level courses, whenever appropriate, to satisfy the M.S. requirements. The student will also start work on a thesis designed to meet the requirements of the M.S. thesis. In the fifth year the student will continue to work towards satisfying all degree requirements for the B.S. and M.S. degrees including the M.S. thesis.
Requirements listed here are in addition to requirements listed in GCAS-210 Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate (IUG) Degree Programs.
