I am currently enrolled as CE at Wichita state University. I really would like to take whatever courses I am interested and not get bounded by the required entry courses. I started taking graduate level courses, which also currently include my drones research class.
So the question is. can i drop out of the CE and enroll as masters student instead? I really enjoy math,cs, and electrical classes and i do not want to take the easy level courses. Plus I think a master degree is better than a normal BS.
@stromattack many Master’s programs in CS require that you hold a bachelor’s degree, as a basic requirement.
If you want an MS degree, is the very first thing to do is to check admission requirements to the MS program?
From your current school:
Minimum Requirements for Degree Admission:
Specialist and Master Programs
Please note: Applicants with bachelor’s degrees in programs in which credit was awarded for experiences which were outside the control of a regionally accredited educational institution, e.g., credit for life experience, may be viewed by some programs as inadequately prepared to undertake graduate study. In such instances, admission to the Graduate School may be denied or approved with prerequisite course work assigned to fill the deficiencies.
Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution or a recognized institution in another country whose requirements for the bachelor’s degree are substantially equivalent to an American four-year bachelor’s degree. The basis on which credits are awarded for the bachelor’s degree must be consistent with the policies and procedures for the award of such credit at Wichita State.
A grade point average of at least 2.750 based upon the last 60 hours of course work (or nearest semester or term break to this); including any post-bachelor’s graduate work, and no more than nine hours of background deficiencies in the desired field of graduate study. Some programs may require higher grade point averages and additional admission credentials.
can there be any exceptions? or are the rule solid?
This is pretty much the rule all over the U.S. Your school may have co-terminal or 4+1 B.S./M.S. programs though and you could be simultaneously taking some graduate courses.
If there is any exception, only the people who make admission decision at the school can answer. In my experience, exceptions, especially at a large public school such as Wichita State University, are rare, very rare, extremely rare.
Also, exceptions are made for only exceptional people. It may be disappointing to you, but “taking graduate level courses” while being an undergrad is not exceptional.
@Pentaprism Well I am currently 18 years old, with 60 hrs+ college credit, 4.0 gpa, I have an internship that started from October 2015 as a solution validation engineer(20hrs/week. I am doing fine there that I had a raise + I was appointed as a vice-project lead), I am planning to do some independent project/research on virtual reality + I might do a research with one of the professors either on drones or micro-processors in fall 2016.
I would not say I am exceptional (I really saw people far surpass me in certain areas) but you can say I am kinda above of average. I think maybe the best plan is to grind 1 more year or so(by taking whatever courses I want and not the undergraduate required classes) to improve my skills and then ask for exception. If exception not granted, there is a good chance I would drop out and start a startup instead.
Thanks you again for your answer, while the chances are slim to none , giving hope up is unacceptable 
I was not trying to put you down, @stromattack, just wanted to offer my opinion because you asked for it.
Apparently you’re above average. Here’s a data point for you to chew on: my D started college as an undergrad at the age of 16. At the time, she had had 30 university-level semester units in math, chemistry and physics. At 19, she received her BS degree and started her comp. sci. Ph.D. program at one of the top-10 schools (was offered admission to 5 of them). When an undergraduate, she hated “easy level courses” no less than you do.
I’d say that she is above average, yet she still had to “pay her dues” just like everyone else. She didn’t even use the aforementioned 30 units as part of the BS degree requirements.
