<p>BCO–
Don’t technically graduate this year–regardless if all your degree requirements for the BS are earned (unless you want to go to work). Stay one more semester officially as an undergrad while enrolling in grad courses in the Fall, and then graduate in December. Then you only pay for ONE not TWO semesters of graduate courses which you’ll take next spring.
You have to pay for at least one semester at graduate tuition- it states that in the accelerated MS degree programs, etc. -not more than half of the 96 units may be completed while an undergrad (factoring in these don’t fulfill /count towards the BS).</p>
<p>My D finished up her requirements too - that’s the way she’s handled it and also has one of the lucrative scholarships. Her advisor worked out how many courses she could stuff in during her senior year while earning her BS which would count towards the MS, and still meet the MS requirements. We still have to cough up one semester of graduate tuition. Of course you could also apply to the Doctorate program in which case you would most surely have a shot at full funding and tuition. There’s no such funding for MS students (pretty much at any school). MS is always considered a “professional” degree.</p>
<p>If you graduate- the fourth year of the undergraute scholarship is forfeited to someone else.</p>
