4+1 Program Graduation
Answers Regarding 4+1 Program & Commencement
CPE is currently working on a CPE master’s degree. Launch timeline is Fall 2027.
Once you enter a 4+1 program (for instance, in a different major), you are no longer considered a CPE undergraduate student. As a result, your record will not list you as a CPE student, and your name will not appear in the commencement program until you receive your master’s degree. When you complete both your undergraduate and master’s degrees, your name will appear twice in the commencement program.
CPE students in the first year of their 4+1 program are typically allowed to participate in the CPE graduation ceremony. Please contact the CPE Department for CPE graduation ceremony details and the university commencement office for the general ceremony.
