Students who participate in this dual-degree
program attend Birmingham- Southern for approximately three years and,
then, a school of engineering
at a cooperative institution for approximately two years. After completing
the academic requirements of both institutions, the student is awarded
a bachelor’s degree from Birmingham-Southern and one of various
designated engineering degrees awarded by the cooperating institution.
Currently, cooperative arrangements exist with Auburn University, Columbia
University in New York, Washington University in St. Louis, and the University
of Alabama at Birmingham. While at Birmingham-Southern, students in the
dual-degree program major in pre-engineering, the requirements for which
are listed below:
- MA 231 Analytic Geometry and Calculus I
- MA 232 Analytic Geometry and Calculus II
- MA 310 Analytic Geometry
and Calculus III
- MA 317 Linear Algebra
- MA 311 Differential Equations
- CS 170 Introduction to Computing
- CH 121 General Chemistry I
- CH 122 General Chemistry II
- PH 121 General Physics I
- PH 122 General Physics 11
Pre-engineering students must also meet Birmingham
Southern’s
general education graduation requirements; they should work closely with
the program advisor in selecting specific courses required by cooperating
institutions.
Although they are exempted from the 32-unit minimum course requirement
and the stipulation that the last 16 units be completed at Birmingham-Southern,
pre-engineering students must complete their engineering degree at the
cooperating institution in order to receive their degree from Birmingham-Southern.
Students who do not complete the degree requirements elsewhere will not
receive a degree from Birmingham-Southern unless they return to the College
and complete the requirements for another major as well as the remaining
graduation requirements.
