Upon successful completion of the program the student will receive the Bachelor of Arts from Western and the Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the University of Washington. This two-degree program provides an excellent liberal arts, mathematics and science background prior to specialization in engineering. The combined program is competitive and designed specifically for students who have strong preparation in communication skills, mathematics and science. Although the curriculum offers considerable freedom of choice, it does not guarantee admission to the College of Engineering at the University of Washington. If, at the end of two years, students find their interest developing in a field outside science or technology, they can readily change to several non-science majors and graduate in two additional years.
Similar options exist through the junior year for programs in science and technology.
This flexibility is particularly advantageous to capable students whose abilities and interests span many fields. Doing this is okay. It means that Physics 122 and 123 will be delayed one quarter. Take English 101 instead of Physics 121 in the Fall quarter. Your Math Placement Test score determines your admission to math courses.
