PlusOne with MS in Environmental Engineering
PlusOne with MS in Environmental Engineering
Overview
PlusOne accelerated master’s degrees allow students to accelerate the attainment of the master’s degree by applying graduate credits taken as an undergraduate toward both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Current undergraduate students apply to enroll in the PlusOne program.
With the PlusOne program, students attain their bachelor’s degree followed by a PlusOne year to complete the master’s degree.
Benefits
- Accelerate learning – get your master’s in one year vs. typically two
- Reduce costs – apply some courses toward both your undergrad and master’s degrees, and get the MS for PlusOne tuition scholarship
- Gain a competitive edge – stand out with an advanced degree
Below are the eligible undergraduate majors available to pursue a PlusOne pathway with a master’s degree in Environmental Engineering. Also, review the Curriculum Guides and the Accelerated Master’s links for further details, including program policies and procedures, as well as how to Apply.

Graduate Course Sharing
Students currently pursuing their Bachelor’s degree should refer to their undergraduate program’s guidelines on how the graduate courses can be shared with their undergraduate degree. College of Engineering undergraduate students should refer to their Plan of Study page.
Any graduate course that contributes to the MS degree requirements may be shared and used to satisfy both a student’s undergraduate and graduate program requirements. The pre-requisites of all graduate courses must be considered when selecting courses for course sharing; one should also consider whether the graduate course qualifies within the undergraduate program as a Technical Elective or a General Elective. Students should coordinate with their undergraduate Academic Advisor to confirm which BS degree requirements will be fulfilled with shared graduate courses.
For other questions on graduate course sharing, please contact Graduate School of Engineering Advising.
