Dual-Degree Engineering Programs Praised For Flexibility.

In an article for The Record (NJ) (1/29,), independent college counselor Audrey Kahane writes about combined 3-2 dual-degree programs for students who are interested in studying engineering as well as another discipline. Students begin their studies as normal, and after three years transfer "to an engineering school for two additional years to complete the course work required for their Bachelor of Science in Engineering. The Bachelor of Arts degree is from their first college." Kahane notes that "a number of excellent engineering schools participate in 3-2 programs," and praises the programs for their "flexibility, which is especially helpful for students who are not certain about their academic interests and career goals." Gaining an education in both engineering and the liberal arts also "can make them even more desirable to potential employers," Kahane adds.
