Electrical and Computer Engineering
Students with an interest in both areas can pursue a dual BSE program in Electrical and Computer Engineering and thus can earn two BSE degrees at the same time:
- BSE degree in Electrical Engineering
- BSE degree in Computer Engineering
The dual degree program requires specified coursework that equals a minimum of 141 total credits.
