Physics, B.S. Dual Degree Engineering Transfer Program Curriculum Guide (Suggested 3-Year Plan of Study)
All required physics courses must be completed with a minimum overall GPA of 2.0.
Transfer students are required to complete at least 15 hours of upper-level courses in physics with grades of C or better at Salisbury University.
The Dual Degree Engineering Transfer Program offers students the opportunity to earn both a degree in physics from Salisbury University and an engineering degree from an ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)-accredited engineering school. Under the program, a student normally attends SU for three years and an engineering school for two years.
While at SU, a student must:
-
Complete a minimum of 90 credit hours, including all required General Education courses, the physics core and appropriate engineering courses. Transfer students entering SU’s dual degree program are required to complete a minimum of 60 semester hours at SU.
-
Apply for admission and be accepted to an ABET accredited engineering school.
-
Complete an additional 30 hours, including at least 15 hours in engineering or related courses, at the receiving institution and be transferred to SU to receive a physics baccalaureate degree from SU
-
Complete additional coursework at the receiving institution according to the requirements of the engineering school attended to receive an engineering degree.
-
Please note, the completion of SU requirements does not guarantee admission into an engineering school. Additionally, it is the student’s responsibility to make sure all engineering school prerequisites are met.
The courses at Salisbury University that are required for the Dual Degree Engineering Transfer Program are described in the Courses section.
Students in the Dual Degree Engineering Transfer Program may use credits and grades from the receiving institution as well as Salisbury University in meeting the requirements for graduating with honors.
Checklist
This checklist is an unofficial tool for planning. Matriculated students and advisors should consult the Academic Requirements Report in GullNet before and after registering for classes each semester to track academic progress.
