The Rackham SUGS program was developed to promote greater enrollment of qualified College of Engineering students in the M.S.E. program by making it possible for students to pursue a five‐year combined B.S.E./M.S.E.
The student, in consultation with undergraduate and graduate advisors, develops a program that meets both the requirements for the master’s degree and those for the awarding of the bachelor’s degree. This program must be recorded on the SUGS Election Form in an attempt to avoid any difficulties before the student enrolls in the SUGS program. Any changes in course elections or substitutions of course requirements, should be approved by both advisors, and a new SUGS form should be sent to Rackham. Rackham Academic Records and Dissertations (OARD) reviews and approves the final copy of the SUGS Election Form.
Applicants submit the Rackham application, the application fee, required credentials and SUGS Election Form.
For more information and to obtain the SUGS Election Form, visit Rackham’s website, and the department’s undergraduate program section.
