Carthage offers multiple paths for students pursuing a career in engineering. Students may choose to earn a B.A. or B.S. degree in engineering in four years from Carthage, or students may choose to major in another natural science, such as physics or computer science, and go on to earn a B.S. degree in engineering from one of our partner institutions, earning two bachelor’s degrees in five years.

Dual-Degree in Engineering

Carthage students pursuing a career in engineering can attend Carthage for three years and, upon successful completion of the required courses listed below with certain GPA conditions, are assured admission into an engineering program at one of two prominent engineering schools for completion of the final four to five semesters of what is typically a five-year program.

Upon graduation from the engineering school, students receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Carthage and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from either Case Western Reserve University or Washington University in St. Louis.

While at Carthage, dual-degree pre-engineering students must major in biology, chemistry, computer science, environmental science, mathematics, or physics.

Current students should follow the official College Catalog from the year they entered Carthage and work with their advisors and the department chair to ensure all requirements are met.

  • Chemistry 1010 General Chemistry I
  • Chemistry 1020 General Chemistry II
  • Computer Science 1810 Principles of Computer Science I
  • Mathematics 1120 Calculus I
  • Mathematics 1220 Calculus II
  • Mathematics 2020 Differential Equations
  • Mathematics 2120 Multivariate Calculus
  • Physics 2200 General Physics I
  • Physics 2210 General Physics II

The following courses may benefit future studies in engineering and engineering careers. These courses should be considered electives to supplement the required course list in consultation with a student’s major advisor and engineering coordinators.
