Departmental Scholar Program

The Samueli School of Engineering may nominate exceptionally promising juniors and seniors as Departmental Scholars to pursue engineering bachelor’s and master’s degree programs simultaneously.  Departmental Scholars remain undergraduate students with permission to take graduate-level courses that will be applied toward the Master’s Degree.

Exceptional Student Admissions Program

The Samueli School of Engineering has an Exceptional Student Admissions Program (ESAP) for its outstanding undergraduates who wish to enter the school graduate program upon completion of the BS degree.  ESAP is an alternative to the Departmental Scholar Program. In contrast to that program, an ESAP admitted student would be an enrolled graduate student and would be eligible for consideration of graduate fellowships and teaching assistant positions if available.
