Undergraduate
Dual-Degree Engineering Program
The Department of Mathematics and Computer
Science and the Department of Physics offer a dual-degree engineering program
jointly with the following universities: University of Alabama at Birmingham,
Auburn University, Washington University (Missouri) and Mercer University
(Georgia). The five-year program leads to two degrees: a bachelor of science
degree from Samford with a major in mathematics or physics, and a bachelor
of engineering degree from the participating university.
Students in this five-year program will
first pursue a three-year general curriculum at Samford, followed by a two-year
general technical curriculum at one of the participating engineering schools.
Students apply to the engineering school during their third year at Samford.
Applications must include a letter of recommendation from the chair of the
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science or from the chair of the Department
of Physics (depending on the track selected), as well as documentation that
the candidate will complete the required coursework at Samford. Candidates
must satisfy the admission requirements for the participating engineering
school, and should contact the school well in advance of application. The
program consists of 96-108 credits at Samford (depending on placement in world
languages). Both departments have checklists available for this program: one
for the mathematics track and one for the physics track. Please see either
department chair for further information.
