Combined B.S./M.S.

The B.S./M.S. program in Automotive Engineering provides eligible undergraduate students with the opportunity to get a head-start on graduate studies by allowing them to use a limited number of graduate courses to satisfy requirements for both the B.S. and M.S. degrees.
Clemson undergraduates in the BS-MS program can have up to four 6000-level CECAS courses that they take as undergrads to count as technical electives towards their M.S. degree requirements in AuE. That means you only need to take 3 more technical electives with the thesis option and 5 more with the non-thesis internship options.
The GRE is not required for admission to the B.S./M.S. program.

Online Program Overview
The credit hour requirements for a fully online M.S. degree are the same as that of the in-person M.S. program, though many lab-intensive courses are generally excluded from online delivery The main difference in programs is the unavailability of the Deep Orange option for online students.
Most courses will have online sections that are generally restricted to students admitted to the M.S. online program, provided there is sufficient enrollment in those sections.
Switching between online and in-person sections of courses will require special coordination and should not be assumed possible in many cases. It depends on several factors, including enrollment, instructor availability, timing, etc.
