Some of the courses required for the Eckerd College major may be completed at the other institution. The detailed curriculum depends on the student's choice of engineering college and specific degree program. Students may attend an engineering winter term before they transfer to the engineering college. The student is then awarded degrees from both Eckerd College and the engineering school. Students may also apply to engineering schools with which we do not have formal agreements.
Many engineering schools accept transfer students.
Several such schools have supplied us with advice and information on which courses would best prepare students to transfer into engineering at the Junior level. Due to the sequential prerequisite requirements, it is vital for dual degree candidates to obtain counseling early in their career at Eckerd College. Eckerd College provides both an Air Force and Army ROTC program through cross-enrollment agreement with the University of South Florida in Tampa. Air Force ROTC Students who complete the program, which consists of either a four year or two year program, are commissioned as second lieutenants and guaranteed a position in the active Air Force. Army ROTC Students who complete the program, which consists of four courses in military science, a weekly leadership laboratory, and one summer camp, are commissioned in the United States Army.
