Accelerated B.S./Ph.D. Program

You could cross the stage at graduation to receive your Ph.D. as one of the pioneers of a new accelerated program offered by the School of Science.

Earn a head start that provides a great time advantage. Plus, there is no need for graduate applications and no question about graduate school acceptance; you will already be admitted!

Your next stop after graduation could be a fellowship at the Institute for Genomics Research, or the Fermi Laboratories, or the National Aeronautics and Space Association... all at the age of 25.

Here in the School of Science, we lead in the creation and dissemination of scientific knowledge that will be the core of tomorrow’s technology.

We prepare students for a wide variety of careers in the firmly established areas of mathematics and natural sciences while forging ahead to develop excellent new programs in the emerging fields of information science.

New curricula in bioinformatics, molecular biology, and information technology are meeting the high demand for scientists in these areas.

We aim to give our students:

  • A broad background in their particular field
  • Working knowledge of modern research and technological tools
  • An appreciation of good theoretical, experimental, and computational research
  • Preparation for a lifetime of learning and discovery as both individuals and part of a team

Students may attain these goals through a variety of majors offered within the six departments or through interdisciplinary degree programs.

The School of Science also offers an Accelerated Program for qualified students, where students earn both their B.S. and Ph.D in seven years.

For those students wishing to extend their undergraduate financial aid while they earn a master's degree, Rensselaer offers a co-terminal degree program.
