The Dual BS/BA Degree: A Balanced Perspective

The Dual BS/BA degree in Engineering is designed to develop thinkers and leaders who have solid technical, communication and problem-solving skills balanced with a broad perspective to make things happen locally and globally. All of our engineering programs offer:

• Close interactions with faculty that inspire true engagement
• A small class size that provides individual perspectives through collaboration with a diverse group of men and women
• An environment that allows you to actually practice engineering in the lab, garages and studios through projects that are linked to theory and tied to challenging, open-ended issues
• Strong communication skills through teamwork and the presentation of ideas and projects
• Networking opportunities through internships, industry partnerships, community involvement and events

The Common Core

All of our programs begin with a common core curriculum in the first two years, so that you can explore all three engineering departments, Mechanical, Industrial and Systems, and Electrical, and determine which is right for you.
