This program, offered by the UF’s Warrington College of Business, offers students the opportunity to “double count” up to 12 credits of specific graduate courses to both BS and MSM degrees. On the undergraduate degree audit, these graduate courses can be counted as either required ISE BS courses or as ISE Technical Electives.

Details regarding the application process, as well as courses included in this program, can be found below:

Applying for the ISE BS/MS in Management Combination Degree Program

Students interested in enrolling in graduate coursework to be applied toward their ISE BS degree must follow these steps:

  1. Contact your ISE Advisor to declare your interest in the ISE BS/MSM Combination Degree program. You can do this as soon as you have completed all of your ISE Critical Tracking courses.
    • Students will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the ISE Advising team.
    • If approved, students will then work with their Advisors to complete the 4+1 Combined Degree Application Form and enroll in any requested graduate-level ISE or Marketing courses.
  2. Formally apply to the MSM Combination Bachelor’s Master’s Degree Program per the process outlined here.
    • Applicants with a 3.2+ UF cumulative GPA are eligible to apply
    • Applicants must have completed 90 credit hours (including test credit and dual enrollment) before applying
  3. Take graduate courses and earn grades of “B” or higher in each course.
    • Your MSM Advisor will suggest courses that can “double count” toward the ISE BS and the MSM degrees.
    • Your ISE Advisor will help you determine which MSM courses can be applied to your ISE BS degree.
    • Only courses where students earn a grade of “B” or higher are eligible to transfer to the MSM program.
  4. Immediately after submitting your undergraduate degree application, apply to the MSM graduate program. Pay close attention to the admission requirements and deadlines for the MSM program.
