3+2 Program
Earn Two Degrees in an Accelerated Pathway
CSU Pueblo's 3+2 programs allow qualified undergraduate students to begin graduate-level coursework while completing their bachelor's degree.
Depending on the program, selected graduate courses may satisfy requirements toward both degrees, creating a more efficient path from undergraduate study to an advanced degree.

Civil Engineering BSCE/MS
The Civil Engineering 3+2 program allows qualified students to complete the requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and Master of Science in Civil Engineering through an accelerated curriculum.
Students apply no later than the spring before their senior year and must complete required 300-level Civil Engineering courses before enrolling in graduate-level coursework.

Admission requirements vary by program. Review the requirements for your intended 3+2 pathway before applying.

Plan Early
Students interested in a 3+2 program should meet with their faculty advisor early in their undergraduate program. Course sequencing and admission requirements vary by pathway, and students must receive approval before enrolling in graduate-level coursework.
