To be eligible for the Blended B.S. + M.S. Program you need to be working toward one of the B.S. degrees:
- BS Computer Science
- BS Computer Engineering
- BS Software Engineering
A Minor in Computer Science does not make you eligible for the Blended program.
If you are not eligible for the BMS program you may still be eligible for the MS program.
GWR Requirements
Transitioning into graduate standing requires that your GWR is complete as indicated on your PolyProfile*. If your GWR is not completed in time to transition to graduate standing before your finish your BS requirements Cal Poly will graduate you and you will no longer be eligible for the BMS program. There is no exception to this policy. If you are considering applying to the BMS program the best advice is to complete the GWR requirement* as soon as possible. Otherwise GWR must be complete* at least one term before you finish your BS degree requirements
* This means your PolyProfile must show “Complete” for GWR. Being enrolled in a class doesn’t count. Having received a passing grade / score in a GWR course or portfolio doesn’t count. Your PolyProfile must show it is complete. There are no exceptions.
Timing requirements
You are not eligible to join the BMS program the term you finish your undergraduate degree requirements. You must join the program at least one term prior.
