2016-2017 Undergraduate General Catalog


Dual Degree Program in Engineering

In the Dual Degree Program students attend Augustana for 3 or 4 years and then complete the program with 2 years at an engineering school. This enables the student to combine the advantages of a broad-based liberal arts education with their technical education. Students earn a Bachelor of Arts from Augustana and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the engineering school. Cooperative plans are in place with Columbia University (New York) and Washington University (St. Louis). Students in the program are guaranteed admission to the engineering school when recommended by Augustana. The areas of engineering available include Aerospace, Bio-based Product, Biomedical, Biosystem and Agriculture, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Geological, Electrical, Environmental, Industrial, Materials Science, Mechanical, and Systems Science. This program provides exceptionally strong career opportunities.

The dual degree coordinator on campus helps students select the proper courses to take depending upon which engineering school and which program they wish to enter.
