Dual degrees

Combine the richness of a traditional liberal arts education with technological skills. Through the dual-degree program, you can earn a Bachelor of Arts from a participating college or university and a Bachelor of Engineering from the University of Minnesota.

Many participating students complete this dual-degree program in five years, including three years at the first college and two years at CSE.

Another option is completing an undergraduate degree in science at another college or university, then applying for a master’s program in engineering at the University of Minnesota.

Start at a participating college or university

  • Complete your liberal-education requirements.
  • Take one English composition course.
  • Take the required pre-engineering courses in math and science. Be sure to choose the courses that have been identified as equivalent to the courses at CSE; your academic advisor will know.

Finish at CSE

  • When it comes time to transfer, use a special application available from your pre-engineering academic advisor. You do not use the usual transfer application process at the University.
  • Selection is based on the successful completion of appropriate courses and the student’s technical grade point average (calculated from grades in calculus, chemistry, computer science, calculus-based physics, and calculus-based statistics).
