<p>Is it possible at Cornell? Is there like a 4-5 year program at Cornell in which one can receive a master and bachelor degree in engineering?</p>

<p>i believe that the 5 year program you are talking about is available. i think if you graduate with a certain GPA, you have the opportunity to continue at cornell for another year for your masters. im sure the COE website has more information regarding this</p>

<p>don’t do it!</p>

<p>academic inbreeding is frowned upon. Yes the program exists, but I would advise you to broaden your horizons after graduation.</p>

<p>Tboonepickens, honestly, what would you know?</p>

<p>For lots, it’s an economically feasible way to get a Masters in Engineering at a school that they love.</p>

<p>post this question in the engineering forum. There was a thread on there a while ago about this. The general consensus was that academic inbreeding is frowned upon in the hard sciences and engineering IF one wants to go into academia. I assume if you wanted a masters, you would like to go into academia at some time down the line.</p>

<p>actually, a masters is more often than not used for industry.</p>

<p>a PhD is different, because a PhD is used for academia. </p>

<p>and even still, if someone loves the school enough, and it is more economically feasible, the individual should not feel pressured to not do it because somehow “academic inbreeding” is “frowned upon.”</p>

<p>An MIT student getting his undergrad and grad studies at MIT is not frowned upon, same as with a Cornell undergrad in engineering getting his MEng from Cornell engineering.</p>

<p>Yes Cornell does have an M-Eng program. It is typically a 5th year thing but I think you start it during your senior year of undergrad. Not totally sure but some of my friends are doing it next year (I’m a senior). And its something you apply to while you’re an engineer at Cornell.</p>
