Only students who have demonstrated unusual maturity and scientific aptitude will be accepted into the Combined 5-Year B.S./M.S. program.

It is necessary for the student to take up to 18 credits each semester as an undergraduate. It is necessary to plan early and apply before the beginning of the junior year (at Gannon) to participate in the combined program. In addition to the B.S. requirements, and depending on the ara of concentration, the student should plan to complete specific first year graduate courses during the senior year (see below).

No more than 12 graduate credits are allowed prior to the completion of the B.S. degree. Graduate level courses taken when not previously approved for the Combined Program will count only toward the B.S. degree.

It will be necessary to spend the summer after the senior year and/or after the first year of graduate school in course work, an internship, or in a research project.

Specific Graduate Courses during the Senior Year:
GENV 500 Experimental Design (3)
GENV 536/537 Env Chemistry (3)
GENV 542 Environmental Toxicology (3)
GENV 544 Env Law & Regulations (3)

Total Course Requirements for the 5-year Combined B.S./M.S. Program includes 164 credits (128 credits undergraduate plus 36 graduate). Consult the Graduate Catalog for additional information about other requirements of the graduate program.
