GSW :: School of Art & Sciences :: Department of Geology & Physics Engineering Dual Degree Program In Coordination with the School of Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology Background Information The Dual Degree Program is designed to ease the transition from the high school experience to the demanding schedule of an engineering school which is dedicated to the technical aspects of the engineering profession. Students who attend GSW benefit from the broad education of a liberal arts school while obtaining the tools necessary in their choice of an engineering field. The Dual Degree Program at GSW generally consists of three years of coursework at GSW and approximately two years of coursework at Georgia Tech. Upon completion of the program, the student will receive a B.S. degree from GSW in Mathematics or a specific science (such as Chemistry or Biology) and a B.S. degree from Georgia Tech in a specific engineering discipline. Engineering B.S. degrees earned at Georgia Tech by GSW students include:      Aerospace Engineering      Biomedical Engineering      Chemical Engineering      Civil Engineering      Computer Engineering      Electrical Engineering      Industrial Engineering      Materials Engineering      Mechanical Engineering While at GSW, the specific curriculum of each student is designed by the Dual Degree Program advisor. This curriculum will take into account the student's individual background and selected engineering discipline. A typical schedule results in students attending Georgia Southwestern State University for three years and then, upon acceptance, going on to the Georgia Institute of Technology to complete the particular requirements of the desired engineering field.   Further information regarding the class schedule can be found on the GSW class schedules page   For more information please contact: Dr. Svilen Kostov, Asst.
