Combined Degree Programs
Qualified GVSU undergraduates may be admitted to a combined bachelor’s/master’s program and obtain both a B.S. and an M.S. within an accelerated time frame. Students admitted to these programs will dual-count up to 12 credits of graduate work to satisfy the requirements for both the undergraduate and graduate degree. This saves not only a semester's-worth of time, but up to $2,300 by taking graduate classes at undergraduate prices.
After completing 120 credits and all requirements for the bachelor’s degree, students are awarded a bachelor’s degree. A minimum of 21 graduate credits must be completed after the 120 credits of the bachelor’s degree. All other master’s degree requirements must be met, including a graduate capstone course.
The following combined degree programs are available within the College of Computing:
Computer Science B.S. / Applied Computer Science M.S.
Computer Science B.S. / Cybersecurity M.S.
Computer Science B.S. / Data Science and Analytics M.S.
Cybersecurity B.S. and M.S.

Policies
There is an 8-year time limit to complete a graduate-level badge, certificate, or degree. However, the 'clock' starts when you take your first graduate course and will not include your solely-undergraduate years.
