Features of the Dual Degree Engineering Program
- Problem-Solving – tackling challenging problems and delivering solutions develop transferable skills for in-demand careers in engineering
- Professional Development – opportunities to build your resume through internships and research
- Established Partnerships – articulation agreements with three premier engineering schools provide a clear path for transfer of credits
- Support – dedicated program coordinator to help you select the program(s) best suited to achieving your goals
Dual Degree Options
Through articulation agreements with premier engineering programs, we offer a pathway to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from NDMU in 3-4 years followed by a BS in Engineering in 2-3 years from a premier engineering school.
Eligible BA Programs at NDMU
The Dual Degree Engineering program includes opportunities for chemistry, computer information systems, mathematics, and physics majors. Contact the program coordinator to discuss your interests and goals to determine the most appropriate program for you.
