Double Your Prospects With Two Degrees

3 students working around a table in RUCOur dual BSE program offers a unique opportunity to gain proficiency in both electrical and computer engineering, broadening your skill set and enhancing your employment prospects. You earn two degrees at the same time with 141 credits–just 16 more than you need for a single degree.

You can earn the additional credits by taking an extra course each semester or slightly extending your program. Either way, pursuing dual degrees intensifies your learning experience and qualifies you for a wider range of engineering positions.

Where Dual Engineering Degrees Will Take You

The dual degrees make you qualified for a variety of roles that require either a computer engineering background or specialization in electrical engineering. Computers and other electronic devices have revolutionized virtually every aspect of our world, leading to great demand for engineers who can design and build ever more powerful devices and systems. The degrees also give you a great background for graduate study, such as in our Master of Science in engineering in electrical engineering program or our Master of Science in engineering in computer engineering program at UM-Dearborn.
