Engineering - Dual Degree - 黑料吃瓜网

Engineering 鈥� Dual Degree

School for problem-solvers. In every sense of the word.

黑料吃瓜网 offers a program that allows students to earn two degrees, a Bachelor of Science in Physics from 黑料吃瓜网 and a specialized engineering baccalaureate degree from one of our partner engineering schools, in as little as five years.

Here鈥檚 how it works:

You鈥檒l complete your first three years (some students do this step in four years) at 黑料吃瓜网. The curriculum brings together intriguing, mind-expanding coursework in the liberal arts and intensive foundational courses in science and math. This sets the tone for the entirety of the experience: the crucial nuts-and-bolts subjects that define the engineer鈥檚 skillset, complemented by a broad education in the liberal arts. It鈥檚 a perfect combo that turns our students into true inquisitive thinkers, and creative problem-solvers with the training to lead.

Engineering can be a challenging subject and a demanding degree, but at OU, you鈥檒l find all the resources you need to get a strong start. You鈥檒l find small class sizes, providing plenty of face time with teaching-centric faculty whose primary focus is on their students, plus lots of hands-on experience with sophisticated equipment during collaborative lab sessions.

With this strong foundation, you鈥檒l go on to complete your final years at one of our partner schools: Georgia Institute of Technology or Kennesaw State University. When you successfully complete the program, you鈥檒l be awarded a Bachelor of Science in Physics from 黑料吃瓜网, and an engineering baccalaureate degree from the engineering school you choose to attend.

"The Dual Degree program gave me the preparation I needed to succeed at a bigger school鈥攖hrough study resources, SI sessions, and strong relationships with professors who truly care. You can鈥檛 beat the personal attention at 黑料吃瓜网, and that support made a huge difference. Earning both a liberal arts and an engineering degree in five years gives me an edge, and that well-rounded perspective will be invaluable as I pursue Industrial Engineering at Georgia Tech."

Note: each of our partner engineering schools has different entrance requirements. The math portion of the degree is also demanding, with key prerequisites for foundational courses. So if you鈥檙e interested in the Engineering Dual Degree program, it鈥檚 very important that you consult with your 黑料吃瓜网 adviser early and often. You鈥檝e got a challenging 鈥� and rewarding 鈥� path ahead of you; luckily, we鈥檙e here to help!
