Combined 4+1 Bachelors and Masters
Degrees with the Wilkes Honors College (WHC) and the College of Engineering and Computer Science (COECS)

Students must earn a "C" or better in each course taken to fulfill a concentration requirement.

Combined-4-1

Honors College students may pursue a joint Bachelor of Arts or Sciences degree at the Honors College and a Masters of Science degree through the College of Engineering and Computer Science. Students complete the prerequisite coursework for the Masters degree while at the Honors College in their first 4 years, and can complete the masters coursework in an additional year in this “4+1” program. Many of the prerequisite COECS courses are available online. 

The following masters degrees are available:
MS Artificial Intelligence
MS Biomedical Engineering
MS Information Technology & Management (ITM) with Concentration in Computer Science Data Analytics
MS Information Tech & Mgmt (ITM) with Concentration in Advanced Information Technology
MS Computer Engineering 
MS Computer Science
MS Electrical Engineering
MS Mechanical Engineering
MS Ocean Engineering

The MS in Biomedical Engineering is limited to students with concentrations at the Honors College in the following areas who successfully complete the prerequisites for the MS program and meet other admissions requirements for the combined program, listed below:
Biology 
Biological chemistry
Chemistry (must also successfully complete Biochemistry and BSC 1010/L and BSC 1011/L)
Marine Biology (must also successfully complete Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry)
Physics (must also successfully complete Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry)
Neuroscience (must also successfully complete Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry) 

The other MS programs are open to students pursuing a B.A. or B.S. at the Honors College in any concentration so long as they complete the prerequisites for the chosen Masters program and meet other admissions requirements for the combined program, listed below. 
Further information is available at the COECS's website on the combined degree program.
See also the FAU catalog.

For assistance in registering for COECS courses:
For the Data Analytics concentration, or the joint degrees in Computer science, Computer Engineering, ITM CSDA, ITM AIT, or Biomedical Engineering, contact: Teresa Perez (mtperez@31totsuka.com), Undergraduate Advisor

For the combined degrees in Electrical Engineering, and in Computer Engineering, contact: Teresa Perez (mtperez@31totsuka.com), Undergraduate Advisor 

Another option is the Honors College Minor in Data Science.

Other Admission Requirements for the Combined Program

Students with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25 at the end of their junior year (90 credits or more of coursework completed) in the Honors College are eligible to apply to the MS program in the College of Engineering and Computer Science. The cumulative GPA of 3.25 or better must be maintained until the completion of the bachelor's degree in the Honors College. The GRE requirement is waived. 

Students in the combined program may count up to 12 credits of approved graduate coursework (5000 level or higher) toward both their bachelor's and master's degrees as long as the combined program totals a minimum of 150 credits:
