This was all with no advertising of the program!

In addition, a combined degree program was approved in Spring 2016.  A combined degree program allows undergraduate students at Purdue in various disciplines (ABE, ChE, CE, EEE, MSE, NRES) to enroll in 9 graduate level credits during the course of their BS degree.  This 9 graduate credits can be dual counted for both BS and MS in EEE.  The objective of the combined degree program is to allow Purdue students, in the above mentioned disciplines, to receive a master’s degree in environmental and ecological engineering with one additional year at Purdue.
