Overview
The College of Engineering offers a dual-degree program that culminates with students receiving a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering and a Master of Science in Industrial Engineering concurrently. This program is available only to qualified students enrolled in the undergraduate program in Environmental Engineering at the University of Miami. This is a structured and integrated program totaling 152 credit hours.
Note the following:
- At least 30 credit hours must be at the graduate (600 or 700) level.
- Interested environmental engineering Juniors with a cumulative GPA above 3.0 may declare their intent to participate by submitting an official application to the Graduate School for admission into the M.S.I.S.E. portion of the program.
- A student wishing to drop out of the five-year program without the M.S.I.S.E. degree could receive the B.S.En.E. degree after completing all its requirements, including the senior design project.
- To qualify for the M.S.I.E. degree, students must meet all the pertinent Graduate School requirements, including a minimum of 3.0 GPA in the 30 credit hours applied towards the M.S.I.E. degree.
- The student is awarded both the B.S.En.E. and the M.S.I.E. degrees after the requirements for both degrees are satisfied.
- If their schedule allows, students may be able to complete 6 credits of graduate classes during their fourth year.
- Students must be registered for a minimum of 12 undergraduate credit hours per semester in their fourth year.
- Students can register for a maximum of 6 graduate credit hours in each semester of their fourth year.
Graduation
Requirements for graduation are:
- Minimum of 30 graduate-level credits with a GPA of at least 3.000, and no grade lower than C; refer to the Curriculum Requirements for the industrial and systems engineering MS degree for details regarding the distribution of the credits.
- Completion of the BSEnE degree requirements
Admission Requirements
The dual B.S. EnE/M.S. IE program is available only to qualified undergraduate students enrolled in the environmental engineering undergraduate program at UM. Students must have undergraduate student status and a cumulative G.P.A. of at least 3.0 at the time of application.
Qualified students are strongly advised to apply to the dual degree program as early as possible in their junior year to facilitate academic advising and course selection in the second semester of their junior year. Students opting for an M.S. degree in a discipline different from their B.S. degree may need to take some prerequisite coursework. Before submitting an application, students should discuss the program and possibility of entering with an academic adviser.
This program is intended for exceptional students to acquire both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree simultaneously, in five years rather than the 4 plus 2 years (approximately) it normally requires.

Internships, Practical Training, or other types of practicum are neither required nor optional credit-earning components in the established undergraduate curriculum. Credit earned through these experiences via UMI 305 will not count towards the degree requirements.
At the graduate level, the Program of Study is the student's specific set of coursework that defines the course requirements for graduation and must be approved by an advisory committee (known as the Supervisory Committee). The Program of Study is tailored to the student's background and goals by their advisor, and must be approved as constituting an MS in Civil Engineering by the student's Supervisory Committee.
The graduate course requirements for graduation are:
- Completion of the BSEnE degree
- Minimum of 30 graduate-level credits with a GPA of at least 3.000, and no grade lower than C.
Transfer of credits from other institutions
- A total of 6 credits of transfer and/or exchange coursework not counted towards the student’s B.S. may be taken at another institution and used to satisfy requirements for the M.S. The number of eligible credits for transfer is 9, when pre-approved coursework is taken as part of a semester abroad experience.
