Accelerated Master of Science
NNU, in collaboration with Boise State University (BSU), is working with its students to apply for an accelerated master's degree program at BSU. This accelerated program gives bachelor’s degree students a “fast-track” option to pursue their master’s degree in engineering or computer science. Upon a student’s successful completion of this 4+1 model, the student will have earned a Bachelor of Science degree from NNU and a Master of Science degree from BSU.
Students who have been early admitted to the accelerated program before their senior year will be able to take two graduate courses during their senior year. These will apply to the BSU Master of Science degree as well as their NNU Bachelor of Science degree.
Please refer to the Graduate and Professional Studies Catalog for detailed course descriptions of the graduate level courses students participating in this program may enroll in: COMP5220, COMP5330, COMP5340, COMP5470, COMP5480, COMP5750, COMP5810.
