Sequential Graduate/Undergraduate Study (SGUS) Program in Energy Systems Engineering and Chemical Engineering

It is possible for U-M College of Engineering undergraduates to complete requirements for both a Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Chemical Engineering and a Master of Engineering in Energy Systems Engineering in five years. (Students who plan to pursue a PhD should apply directly to the desired PhD program).

Admission

1. Students apply for the program early in the second term of their junior year for provisional admission in order to be advised appropriately regarding planning for undergraduate and graduate course selections. SGUS students must enroll for least two full terms of graduate study, paying graduate tuition.
2. An overall GPA of 3.5 or above at time of admission is required. GRE scores are not required, but will be considered if provided. Two letters of recommendation are required.

Requirements

1. All 128 credits of Chemical Engineering BSE requirements must be met.
2. All 30 credits of MEng Energy Systems Engineering requirements must be met.
3. Up to 9 hours of prior-approved coursework may be double-counted toward each of the two degrees, leading to a minimum total of:
   
   128 (BSE) + 30 (MSE) - 9 (double-counted) = 149 credit hours.
   
   Double-counted hours may not include any core courses required for the BSE degree, but may include courses elected to meet technical or general electives required for the BSE degree. An additional 6 credit hours beyond the 128 required for the BSE degree may be transferred from the undergraduate to graduate record.
   
   All double-counted hours must be acceptable for Rackham credit. (Check Rackham approved courses online at www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/index.html)
