Double Dawgs BS + MS

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 twelve Double Dawg Programs:

Agricultural Engineering – BS-MS (both thesis and non-thesis)
Biological Engineering – BS-MS
Biochemical Engineering – BS-MS
Environmental Engineering – BS – MS Civil and Environmental Engineering with Environmental Engineering Emphasis (both thesis and nonthesis)
Civil Engineering BS – MS Civil and Environmental Engineering with Civil Engineering Emphasis (both thesis and nonthesis)
Mechanical Engineering BS – MS Engineering with Mechanical Engineering Emphasis (both thesis and nonthesis)
Computer Systems Engineering BS – MS Engineering with ECE Emphasis
Electrical and Electronics Engineering BS – MS Engineering with ECE Emphasis

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.
