School of Engineering Combined Degree Information Session and Luncheon

Tufts School of Engineering would like to invite all Juniors* to learn more about the combined degree program to earn a master's degree (BS/MS and BS/ME) in one additional year of study at Tufts.

Professor Karen Panetta, Associate Dean of Graduate Education, will outline how the combined-degree program works including: application process, potential internships, and course load. You will also have the opportunity to meet with current BS/MS or BS/ME students to learn more about how to succeed in the program.

Current students in the program will also have the opportunity to ask Associate Panetta about advising, thesis, and other concerns.
