Dual Degree Engineering Program
The objective of the Dual Degree Engineering Program at Towson University
is to provide an educational opportunity for students interested
in both a “liberal science” and a professional education
at the undergraduate level. Students choosing this program will
be able to obtain a Bachelor of Science or Arts degree from Towson,
and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from UMCP. In principle, students can seek a degree in any discipline
offered by Towson; but in practice, Biology, Chemistry, Computer
Science, Mathematics and Physics are the natural choices of students
interested in the Dual Degree Program.
Requirements for Dual Degree Students While at TU
1. complete required courses in Dual Degree Program
2. complete a minimum of 90 units
3. complete Core Curriculum requirements
4. complete a major program (with transfers approved by department)
5. obtain recommendation from chair of TU major department
Requirements for Admission to UMCP as a Dual
Degree Student
In order for students to become Dual Degree candidates at UMCP, they must have satisfied TU requirements and, in addition,
have the following:
1. a cumulative grade point average of all college work of 3.0
2. a recommendation from the designated official at TU
Dual Degree Program with University of Maryland,
College Park
Dual Degree candidates from Towson are eligible to seek a baccalaureate
degree majoring in any one of the following areas at the University
of Maryland:
Aerospace Engineering
Bioengineering
Chemical Engineering
Civil Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Fire Protection Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Materials Science Engineering
B.S. in Engineering
In order to be eligible for transfer into the engineering program
of their choice at University of Maryland, College Park, students
must have included in their work at Towson the following courses:
CHEM 131 General Chemistry I (3)
and
CHEM 131L General Chemistry I Lab (1)
