4+1: BSE+Master's Degree Program
Complete a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in 5 years
Leading employers recognize the value of master's-level education. Our Pratt 4+1 Program provides a way for engineering students to complete a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in as little as five years total.
The 4+1 option is available in every Pratt School of Engineering master's degree program, including those leading to a Master of Science (MS), Master of Engineering (MEng) and Master of Engineering Management (MEM).
"Duke's 4+1 program was the perfect opportunity for me to earn my master’s degree."
