Dual-Degree Engineering Program
The Dual-Degree Program is a cooperative academic program between Nebraska Wesleyan University and the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University in New York, The School of Engineering and Applied Science at Washington University in St. Louis, and the College of Engineering and Technology at the University of Nebraska. The Dual-Degree Program enables a student to devote three years of study of sciences and liberal arts at Nebraska Wesleyan before transferring to one of these schools for two years of engineering studies. This program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree from Nebraska Wesleyan and the appropriate engineering bachelor's degree from Columbia University, Washington University, or the University of Nebraska.
The Dual-Degree Program is designed to give the student the best of both liberal arts and engineering to provide the practicing engineer with a background in the humanities and social sciences. The program encourages engineers to be aware of the changing values and priorities of society, and to be concerned about the effects of science and technology upon the environment and the quality of life.
