SEQUENTIAL UNDERGRADUATE/ GRADUATE STUDY (SUGS) PROGRAM

The Rackham SUGS program was developed to promote greater enrollment of qualified top undergraduate College of Engineering students in the Master’s program by making it possible for students to pursue a five-year sequential BSE/MSE (four years of undergraduate and one year of graduate coursework).

SUGS students are able to double count up to nine credit hours and transfer up to six credit hours from their undergraduate program to their graduate program. Eligible students typically apply to the SUGS program in their senior year.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • To be eligible for the SUGS program, the student’s minimum GPA must be at least a 3.2
  • SUGS students do not Dual register
  • Students earning Dual Bachelor’s degrees are NOT eligible for SUGS
  • Students will enroll in Rackham for any term within 12 months of graduation with the approval of the program. In a few instances, students may have up to 6 credits of the undergraduate program outstanding upon enrollment in Rackham in accordance with Rackham rules. The undergraduate degree can be awarded as soon as the degree requirements are met
  • During the student’s senior year, a SUGS application is submitted to Rackham by the required deadline (January 15)
  • Must be registered for a minimum of 2 fulltime (9 Credit) terms, paying full tuition in Rackham only, with no other UM registration
  • If you are a GSI or GSRA you still need to register for 2 full (9 Credit) terms

ADDITIONAL ITEMS NEEDED FOR YOUR SUGS APPLICATION:

  • Complete the Online Rackham Admissions Application Form
