The Double Dawgs program was created to give ambitious and motivated students a competitive advantage in today’s knowledge economy. By earning both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in five years or less, students can save time and money while positioning themselves for success after graduation.
The College of Engineering offers fourteen Double Dawg Programs:
| Double Dawgs Pathways | Thesis | Non-Thesis |
| Agricultural Engineering (BS-MS) | X | X |
| Biological Engineering (BS-MS) | X | |
| Biochemical Engineering (BS) Biomanufacturing & Bioprocessing (MBB) | X | |
| Environmental Engineering (BS) Civil & Environmental Engineering with Environmental Emphasis (MS) | X | X |
| Civil Engineering (BS) Civil & Environmental Engineering with Civil Emphasis (MS) | X | X |
| Mechanical Engineering (BS) Engineering with Mechanical Engineering Emphasis (MS) | X | X |
| Computer Systems Engineering (BS) Engineering with ECE Emphasis (MS) | X | X |
| Electrical & Electronics Engineering (BS) Engineering with ECE Emphasis (MS) | X | X |
These programs allow BS engineering students engaged in undergraduate research to complete 12 hours of graduate coursework during their final undergraduate semesters, graduate with a BS, then complete their research and coursework for the MS, receiving both degrees in five years.
