Does any US university offer me an integrated BTech and MTech style program, and how long does it take?
Examples include Penn State's integrated BS and MS in Engineering Science and Mechanics at 8 semesters, and five-year paths at the University of Texas, Pennsylvania State University and the University of Minnesota. Durations are as listed, so check each university's official program page for the latest details.
Integrated programs let you complete both a bachelor's and a master's degree in less time than doing them separately. Several US universities list such engineering paths, with specializations such as mechanical, software and biomedical engineering.
Examples of Integrated Engineering Programs
| Course | University | Listed duration |
|---|---|---|
| Integrated BS and MS in Engineering Science and Mechanics | Penn State College of Engineering | 8 semesters |
| Integrated BSME and MSE | University of Texas | 5 years |
| IUG in computer science and software engineering | Pennsylvania State University | 5 years |
| Integrated BS and MS in Biomedical Engineering | University of Minnesota | 5 years |
Why Students Choose Them

My Advice
Compare the integrated route with a separate bachelor's and master's on cost, flexibility and admission requirements. Contact the department to confirm how the combined degree is awarded and what you need to stay on track.
