ENGINEERING DUAL-DEGREE PROGRAM
Charleston Southern offers a dual-degree program in engineering,
in cooperation with Clemson University. Students complete a three-year
liberal arts program (consisting of at least 90 hours) at Charleston
Southern before transferring to Clemson* to focus on engineering.
After they complete their fourth year in the dual degree program,
earning a total of at least 125 credit hours, the Charleston Southern
residency requirement for graduation will be waived, allowing students
to receive a B.S. degree in Applied Mathematics from Charleston Southern.
Upon completion of the entire dual degree program, students will
be awarded a degree in engineering from Clemson. This program does
not require a minor.
Students will be assigned an advisor from the Charleston Southern
mathematics department and will also be required to consult with
an assigned advisor from the School of Engineering at Clemson. Students
should maintain close contact with their assigned advisor at Charleston
Southern in order to remain on track within the dual-degree curriculum.
* Note: Students completing the three-year program at Charleston
Southern with at least a ‘C’ in every required pre-engineering
course, and an overall 2.5 GPR, are guaranteed acceptance into the
engineering specialization of their choice at Clemson. Students not
satisfying both of these conditions will be considered for admission
to Clemson’s School of Engineering on an individual basis.
In addition to the major studies required for the applied mathematics/engineering
degrees, the liberal arts core of both schools must be satisfied.
The courses that will satisfy the requirements of both Charleston
Southern and Clemson are listed below:
Art 201 or 202, Music 171
Communication 110
English 201 and 202
Economics 211 or 212
History 101 or 102 or 103
History 211 or 212
Two additional courses are required to satisfy the liberal arts
core of Charleston Southern:
Any 200-level foreign language course
Religion 111 or 112
There may be additional elective courses required in order to complete
a minimum of 90 hours at Charleston Southern.
