RE: Concurrent Degree Program Overview

Though Concurrent Degree Program undergraduates pursue programs of study in two colleges and earn both a Bachelor of Arts degree from the College of Arts and Sciences and one of the following degrees:

B.S. in Engineering
B.F.A. in Art
B.S. in Urban and Regional Studies

Earning two degrees usually requires 10 semesters; the university provides eligible students with financial aid for the entire period.

RE: Requirements for Concurrent Degree Program

As a candidate for two degrees you are required to earn a minimum of 150 credits and must satisfy all degree requirements for both colleges. The number of credits you will have to earn with the particular combination of majors you choose may total more than 150. At least 100 credits must come from courses offered in Arts and Sciences. The two majors must be distinct and independently complete, that is, no course may be used to fulfill requirements in both majors.

RE: How to Apply for Concurrent Degree Program

You may apply at any time between the second semester of the freshman year and the end of the first semester of the junior year. A minimum grade point average of 2.7 is required. Applications from second-term freshmen will be evaluated when grades for that term become available. Additional requirements for some programs include:

a portfolio for applicants to Art
in certain circumstances, an essay, letters of recommendation or other supplementary materials

To obtain an application you must attend a Concurrent Degree information session.
