Combined Degree Programs
LAS/Engineering
For a number of years, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and
the College of Engineering have jointly sponsored a five-year program
leading to a B.A. or B.S. degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences and
a B.S. degree in a field of engineering. The program allows motivated
students to combine a professional engineering education with a broad
liberal arts background. Students are required to complete all the
degree requirements of both colleges.
Freshmen normally apply for entrance through the College of Engineering,
but students who have applied to and been accepted by the College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences may be able to enter the program. All
students must meet the entrance requirements of both colleges. In
addition, they may be required to meet the intercollegiate transfer
requirements of both colleges. For further information about the
program, students should consult their college office.
LAS/Business
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences together with the College
of Business offer two joint-degree programs that lead to the degrees
of B.A. or B.S. in Liberal Arts and Sciences and M.A.S. or M.B.A.
Each program takes five years to complete. These programs allow students
to complete master's programs in accounting or business administration
while they provide students with the broad opportunities unique to
a liberal arts program. Students interested in these opportunities
should contact the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, 270 Lincoln
Hall for additional information and advising.
Baccalaureate-Master of Accounting Science Degree Program
(This program is currently under revision. Please see the College
Office for up-to-date information.)
The B.A./B.S.-M.A.S. program is designed to enable the qualified
student to earn both a bachelor's degree in the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences and the Master of Accounting Science degree in
five years rather than the normal six years. The program integrates
an undergraduate education with a professional education without
diluting the quality or purpose of either. Program objectives will
be met primarily by the completion of courses during the student's
fourth year that are simultaneously electives in the baccalaureate
program and requirements for the M.A.S. degree. A student who is
interested in the joint degree should contact a program adviser
(in 270 Lincoln Hall) early in the initial year.
The program is open to all students in the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences who meet the requirements below. In most cases,
participants in the B.A./B.S.-M.A.S. program will complete their
undergraduate majors by the end of the third year. As a consequence,
some students will have to plan their course work carefully to meet
their undergraduate educational objectives and to participate in
the program; this will be particularly true for undergraduates whose
majors require extensive sequential course work.
Because the B.A./B.S.-M.A.S. program is based on careful course
selection and program planning, an interested student should consult
with a B.A./B.S.-M.A.S. adviser during the first year at the University.
The program's objectives and requirements will be explained so that
the student, in consultation with his or her baccalaureate degree
program adviser, may plan course work to meet both objectives.
A student who wishes to participate in the B.A./B.S.-M.A.S. program
must make formal application by March 31 in the second semester
of the junior year. To be eligible for consideration, the student
must have at least a 3.25 cumulative grade point average, with at
least 96 hours of course work completed, and at least a score of
550 on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT).
Baccalaureate-Master of Business Administration Degree Program
The B.A./B.S.-M.B.A. program is designed to enable the qualified student
to earn both a bachelor's degree in the College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences and the Master of Business Administration degree in five
years rather than the normal six years. The program integrates an
undergraduate education in a field such as English, political science,
or economics with a professional business education without diluting
the quality or purpose of either. Program objectives will be met primarily
by the completion of courses during the student's fourth year that
are simultaneously electives in the baccalaureate program and requirements
for the M.B.A. degree. A student who is interested in the joint degree
should contact the program adviser (in 270 Lincoln Hall) early in
the first year.
The program is open to all students in the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences who meet the requirements below. In all cases,
participants in the B.A./B.S.-M.B.A. program must complete their
undergraduate majors by the end of the third year. As a consequence,
some students will have to plan their course work carefully to meet
their undergraduate educational objectives and to participate in
the program; this will be particularly true for undergraduates whose
majors require extensive sequential course work.
Since the B.A./B.S.-M.B.A. program is based on careful course
selection and program planning, an interested student should consult
with a B.A./B.S.-M.B.A. program adviser during the first year. The
program's objectives and requirements will be explained so that
the student, in consultation with his or her baccalaureate degree
program adviser, may plan the course work to meet both objectives.
A student who wishes to participate in the B.A./B.S.-M.B.A. program
must make formal application by March 31 in the second semester
of the junior year. To be eligible for consideration, the student
must have at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average on the last
45 hours of course work completed, with at least 96 hours of course
work completed by the beginning of the student's fourth year, and
at least a score of 600 on the Graduate Management Admissions Test
(GMAT).
