Boston University Dual Degree Program

College of Engineering students who are interested in earning a second bachelor’s degree from another school or college at Boston University can do so through the Boston University Dual Degree program. To be eligible for this program, a student must:

• have at least a cumulative 3.00 GPA
• have sophomore standing or be in the first semester of the junior year (transfer students must complete at least one semester at Boston University prior to applying to the Dual Degree program)

If a student meets the eligibility requirements, they must meet with an academic counselor in the College of Engineering to discuss the program in detail and for assistance in completing the application. A two-page typed statement giving the student’s reasons for applying to the program must accompany the application. A minimum of 144 credits is required. Please note that a Dual Degree student must complete the course requirements for both degrees before either degree will be awarded. Students are at liberty to withdraw from the Dual Degree program at any time and to complete the program requirements for the BS degree from the College of Engineering. Withdrawal from the program must be requested through the primary school/college of the student. The secondary school/college will be notified by the primary school/college.
