Master of Automotive Engineering

Sequential Graduate/Undergraduate Study (SGUS)
Program in Automotive Engineering

In addition to the 30-credit hour Master of Automotive Engineering, a five-year program for U-M students only, the Graduate/Undergraduate Study Program (SGUS), is offered through Automotive Engineering. This program leads to a Master of Engineering in Automotive (M.Eng. in Auto. Eng.) sequentially with a Bachelor of Science (BSE) through the Mechanical Engineering Department.

The SGUS program follows the standard SGUS template approved by the College of Engineering. In addition, SGUS applicants must:

  • Have completed 80 or more credits of course work with a 3.6 GPA or better.
  • Apply to the M.Eng. in Auto. Eng. Program for admission no later than the second semester of their junior year.
  • Have two automotive-related internships or co-op work experiences. An internship planned for the summer following application submission is acceptable with a written description of the plan.
  • Meet all requirements for both the BSE and M.Eng. in Auto. Eng. degrees, but can "double count" up to nine credit hours of technical electives, to receive both degrees sequentially in five years with a total of at least 149 credit hours.

Interested students should consult their departmental Automotive Council representative in planning their SGUS program.
