I did something similar to this program (the exact details of how things work out are a bit different, but the old program is now gone so I won’t bother elaborating).

This might be good for someone who wants to finish up their academic career with a master’s degree, but probably not worth it for someone who wants to go on to pursue a Ph.D in science or engineering (unless you want the extra year of classes/research to show up in your application). In those cases, it’s probably best to look into attending funded graduate programs instead.

As usual, it’s probably best to discuss the possibility with your adviser.
