Mathematics and Engineering Dual Degree
On the one hand, you enjoy math. On the other, you're interested in pursuing a career engineering. Why not have both and greatly enhance your options for employment. UWA partners with the Schools of Engineering at Auburn University, Mississippi State University, the University of Alabama and the University of Alabama at Birmingham to allow you to attend UWA for approximately seven academic semesters and then transfer to one of these partner schools for two years of study in engineering. After completing all of your academic requirements, you will have earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from UWA and a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the cooperating institution.
