SMU’s Lyle School of Engineering permits its graduate students to take advantage
of degree-requirement overlaps to acquire a second Masters degree by taking
as few as six courses (18 semester credit hours).
This option is also open to students in the Executive format and is available
for prospective and current graduate students, as well as alumni who have already
received a MS from School of Engineering
Students interested in taking advantage of the Fast Second Masters Option
should complete and submit this form. This information will enable the academic
departments to determine the overlap in curriculum from the first M.S. degree
earned and the second degree desired, thus determining the number of courses
needed to complete the second masters.
