The MANE Department offers a BS-PhD Program for Rensselaer undergraduate students with a passion for research. In this unique program, students are able to conduct research during their undergraduate studies, begin their PhD immediately after receiving their BS degree, and get paid to do so.

The Accelerated Master's Program*, (formally known as the Coterminal Master's Program), allows Rensselaer undergraduates to complete their Bachelor’s degree within eight semesters with the option to receive an award equal to 50% of their tuition charges during their additional semesters of graduate study, depending on academic performance.
