To qualify for the BS in Computer Engineering + MS in Electrical Engineering program, students must have completed the first semester of their junior year in residence at SUNY New Paltz with an overall SUNY New Paltz GPA of at least 3.0. 

To apply, students should:

• Complete the online graduate application via the link above (major 268)
• Upload an internal New Paltz transcript (they are free for NP students in my.newpaltz.edu)
• Provide the contact information for one faculty reference
• Pay the $60 Graduate application fee

Once admitted to the BS/MS program, students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA in all courses through the senior year. In addition, students must earn a B or better in each of the two graduate courses that they take as undergraduates. Students not satisfying these requirements will be re-evaluated for continuation in the program.

Academic Standing Requirements for Bachelor's/Master's Students

A cumulative GPA of less than 3.0 in graduate-level courses taken in the undergraduate portion of a 4+1 program precludes the student’s good standing. Students with GPA of 2.75 to 2.99 strongly advised to reconsider continuing into GR program. Students below 2.75 may not continue and will be de-matriculated from GR program.
