I chose the BS/MS program because it offered the opportunity to complete the program in just three semesters, alongside undergraduate graduation. My recommendation for any undergraduates would be simply going full speed into the program. It doesn't cost anything extra to sign up for graduate courses during undergraduate enrollment, so there is nothing to lose. Beginning Quote Icon of beginning quote
