Important update to 5th year masters application – must submit your application before you graduate with bachelors

In the past, we had a clause in the BSMS (5th year masters) application that allowed students to apply to the program up to one year after finishing their bachelor’s degree. This was originally meant to help students who were caught in the middle when we first created the program.  In recent years, no one has actually entered the program that late because most students find other paths fit better once they enter the workforce.

We have decided to officially close that clause and now all students who want to apply for the 5th year masters must apply before they graduate with their bachelor’s degree.  If you are graduating this spring 2017, you may still apply for this current cycle because you will submit your application by June 8th and you won’t graduate until the next week.

If you are graduating soon and were planning to apply next year, you should re-consider and put in an application for this current round.

We realize this is a late breaking change, so if anyone is negatively effected, please contact Jenifer or me ASAP so we can work with you on a plan for your specific situation.

As always, let us know if you have questions.

We did change recently alter deadline to apply to give students a few extra days, it’s now Thursday, June 8th at 24:00.
