Combined Undergraduate/Graduate (CUG) Program

Are you a UW undergraduate majoring in chemistry or biochemistry thinking about pursuing a master’s degree?

With the Combined Undergraduate/Graduate (CUG) program, you can get a jump on your master’s degree by transferring some of your undergraduate credits to the UW Master of Science in Applied Chemical Science & Technology program. You can apply up to 12 credits from 400-level core or elective chemistry courses toward your degree, provided they don’t overlap with credits applied to your undergraduate degree. 

If you’re interested in the CUG program, we highly recommend that you reach out to us well in advance to learn about available options and how to take advantage of this opportunity. To apply, you’ll follow the same admissions timeline and process as the master’s program.
