Dual DegreesStudents who want to pursue interdisciplinary interests in depth may wish to enroll in a dual degree program. There are no minimum semester hours required, but the require- ments for both degrees must be satisfied. To complete two degrees in an optimum time, students should consult with the Assistant Dean of Engineering Student Services Office at the earliest opportunity. Students will also be required to consult with the dean's office in the college from which the second degree is earned.
The second degree may be earned at other four-year institutions, such as the other Regents schools in Kansas. Advisors from these schools will help plan programs commonly referred to as "3-2" degree programs. Students complete 3 years of course work at their institution and arrange to transfer a portion of the credit hours earned at K-State to complete the degree requirements at their institution. If properly planned and implemented, students will also complete requirements for a degree at K-State when the fifth year is completed. However, because about 66 percent of the students at engineering schools take five or more years to complete four-year programs, most of these dual degree programs take 51/2 to 6 years to complete. Popular combinations are:
Instead of a dual degree, students with a 3.0 GPA or higher should consider an MBA, or the engineering management option of the M.S. degree in industrial engineering.
Agricultural engineering and grain science and industry
Construction science and architecture
Civil engineering and geology
Chemistry and chemical engineering
Electrical engineering and computer engineering
Electrical engineering and mechanical engineering
