At Florida Atlantic University, the Combined 4+1 program lets you earn both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or related fields in just five years. You’ll start with a strong foundation in math, programming, and science at the Wilkes Honors College, then move into advanced coursework through the College of Engineering and Computer Science. This pathway is designed for students who want to accelerate their education and launch careers in high-demand technology fields.

Florida Atlantic’s 4+1 program stands out for its flexibility and support. You can choose from a range of concentrations, complete many prerequisites online, and count up to 12 graduate credits toward both degrees—saving time and tuition. The program is open to students in any Honors College concentration (with some requirements for biomedical engineering), and you’ll benefit from close advising and research opportunities. The GRE is waived, and you’ll join a community that values hands-on learning and real-world impact.
