Double Major in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Program Description
The program shown below allows students to graduate with a "double major" in both Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in as little as four and one-half years. Students completing a double major receive one diploma indicating their completion of the requirements for both the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering majors. Students who complete one degree and afterward desire the second degree are viewed as "subsequent degree" students and must complete at least 30 credits beyond the first degree. They are also limited in their selection of courses by special rules for the awarding of subsequent degrees (details available from the Director of Undergraduate Studies).
