Mastering the Future
Today’s workplace turns on a dime. With the evolving technology world as the driving force behind such rapid change, Tri-State University has developed a means by which engineering students can adapt quickly to stay on the cutting edge of the competition—a five-year Bachelor of Science and Master of Engineering degree program. It’s our newest way to help you focus on your future!

Overview
Here’s how it works. TSU provides the rare opportunity for students to earn the degrees simultaneously. The BS/ME program requires five academic years, with one summer of study. The total 164 credit hours break down to 132 for the BS and an additional 32 for the ME. Twenty-one credits in civil engineering, six credits in business-related coursework, and a five-credit-hour design project combine for the 32-hour master’s degree.

Those with BS degrees already to their credit can add the ME by taking afternoon and evening courses. Program requirements draw from the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Body of Knowledge report, which outlines the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of a licenses professional civil engineer.

TSU understands the needs of employers and students in today’s rapid-paced workplace. Our hands-on degree program provides a top-notch education and produces engineers ready to take designs from the drawing board to the field. Today’s employers expect engineers to take charge of projects, make efficient use of resources, and keep an eye on the bottom line.
