	For undergrads with a 3.0 GPA, at least 90 credits (including the current term), and in their 4th to last term before graduating, you may qualify for the accelerated 4+1 BS + MS degree program. This allows you to take some graduate courses during your last 3 terms year as an undergraduate, and then complete the CS MS with 1 additional year of graduate study. Some additional details and rules are listed [https://catalog.indstate.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=57&poid=11135&returnto=2942 in the graduate catalog]. You would be able to register for up to 9 credits of 500 level courses that can count towards both the BS and MS, and up to 6 credits of 600 level courses that would only count towards the MS (but could be taken during your last 3 terms of undergraduate study).
