Is the MS-only program a track toward earning the PhD?
No. Students in the MS-only program must apply to be considered for the PhD program, at which time they will be considered competitively against all other PhD applicants. Back to Top 3) I originally applied to the BME PhD program, but I have changed my mind and would like to be considered for the MS-only program. Can I automatically be considered for the MS-only program without reapplying? If a decision has not yet been made on your PhD application, you may send a letter to the graduate school requesting administrative reassignment of your application from the PhD to the MS-only program. However, if you were already denied admission to the PhD program, you must wait until the following year to reapply through the graduate school for admission to the MS-only program.
