1 programFast-Track Your Engineering Education
University of Bridgeport’s BS-to-MS accelerated program in Engineering enables motivated students to earn both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in five years of study rather than the typical six. Available in computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering, this accelerated track saves you a full year of time and tuition while preparing you for leadership in industry, research, or government.
Save One Full Year
Complete your undergraduate and graduate degrees concurrently in five years by taking strategic credits during your junior, senior, and summer terms.
Four Accredited Disciplines
Available for studies in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.
Direct Career Transition
Continue seamlessly into graduate-level coursework and laboratory research without taking a gap year or repeating prerequisite foundations.
