Engineering, Dual Degree Program

Requirements for Dual-Degree Program

To successfully complete the dual-degree program in engineering, with the intent to transfer to the two schools that are currently affiliated with Albion College (see above), students must fulfill the following requirements.

General Requirements

While at Albion College, each student must:

• Complete at least 24 units of college credit prior to transfer to an approved school of engineering. 16 of these units must be earned at Albion College.
• Maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 and a minimum grade point average in courses in chemistry, computer science, mathematics and physics of 3.0.
• Complete the writing competency requirement.
• Achieve successful transfer admission to an approved engineering program of study.
• Make a written application for a dual degree to the Albion College registrar. This application must be submitted by the end of the twelfth week of the student’s junior year and receive the endorsement of the Engineering Advisory Committee (EAC).

While at the transfer engineering school, each student must:

• Maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0.
• Complete at least eight units of college credit in an ABET accredited program at the transfer school. These courses must be approved by the EAC for Albion credit.
