Dual Degree Engineering

In a typical dual degree program, a student may select any major at Regis. Frequently, students select mathematics as their major. [NOTE: Students are required to complete specific courses in mathematics and science, but they are not required to be a mathematics major.] The first three years students are in residence at Regis and the curriculum is under the supervision of the Dual Degree Program Liaison Officer. The last two years are at Washington University in St. Louis. With successful completion of the program, students receive a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Washington University and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics [or other major] from Regis University.

Programs such as this allow our students to combine a Jesuit liberal arts education with a career in engineering. Typically if a student completes all the Regis College requirements with a GPA of 3.25 or better, the student is guaranteed admission into the Washington University Dual Degree Program. For most majors it is possible to complete the entrance requirements for the Dual Degree Program in three years if the student starts as a freshman. It may be necessary to take two or three classes in Summer School. Students who want to take more time to complete the requirements may enter the Dual Degree Program after four years.

Contact Jim Seibert, associate professor of mathematics, for more details about how this works at Regis University. The Washington University Dual Degree Program web pages also have more information.

Past Students

For the past several years, Regis has had about one student per year enter the Dual Degree program. Students report that although the work is hard, they have enjoyed the program. Several students have completed the program successfully and gone on to careers in engineering. Recent Regis participants in the Dual Degree program may be contacted through the Regis College Mathematics Department.

Sample Schedule

Students in the Dual Degree program must complete the requirements for a major, the science and computer science courses required by Washington University, and the Regis core. The sample course schedule below assumes the student majors in mathematics and starts in Calculus I. (Other majors are possible. Contact Jim Seibert, associate professor of mathematics, for details.)
