At USD, it’s engineering… and so much more
Challenging. Student-centered. Hands-on. Broad-based. These are words that describe the integrated, nine-semester program of study at USD leading to dual Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Arts degrees in Engineering. In fact, USD is the only school in the U.S. where all engineering students automatically earn both a BS and a BA.
The USD general engineering core, taken by all engineering majors, emphasizes math and sciences, along with fundamental engineering topics. These courses are complemented by a comprehensive set of core classes taken by all USD students, providing the broad range of career-building skills and knowledge needed in today’s fast-paced world of rapid social and technological change:
Practical skills:
Students learn to apply specialized knowledge from their chosen field to design innovative solutions to technical can organizational problems.
Science and engineering foundation:
The Engineering Program at USD provides students with a solid foundation in calculus, physics, chemistry, and engineering principles applicable to any field.
Critical communication skills:
Our programs produce engineering graduates who effectively communicate technical and non-technical ideas to a variety of audiences.
