B.S./B.S. Program in Engineering

Beginning in fall 2010, the College of Arts and Science’s dual-degree program in science and engineering with the NYU Tandon School of Engineering will offer highly qualified and motivated students who are technically oriented the opportunity to pursue both a liberal arts program with a major in science and a traditional engineering program. The program is ideal for the student interested in science and engineering who is also eager for a liberal arts experience before entering an undergraduate engineering environment. Upon completion of this five-year program, students receive the Bachelor of Science degree from the College of Arts and Science at New York University and the Bachelor of Science degree from the NYU Tandon School of Engineering. Students with this combination of degrees are likely to find excellent employment opportunities.

The available dual-degree combinations that include mathematics are as follows:

  • B.S. in mathematics/B.S. in civil engineering
  • B.S. in mathematics/B.S. in computer engineering
  • B.S. in mathematics/B.S. in electrical engineering
  • B.S. in mathematics/B.S. in mechanical engineering

    Students in the program complete all of the College Core Curriculum (CORE) requirements, with the exception of the foreign language requirement, from which they are excused. (Their required math and science courses automatically satisfy the CORE’s Foundations of Scientific Inquiry requirements.) There is usually some flexibility concerning the semester in which a given course can be taken, and students with Advanced Placement credit can typically lighten some of their semester course loads and/or have room for more electives.
