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 departments – Computer Science, Electrical, General Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Industrial and Systems Engineering – to determine which is right for you.
