3/2 Engineering Option with Virginia Tech
B.S. Degree in Chemistry
B.S. Degree in Engineering
The Department of
Chemistry and Physics at Radford University and the College of Engineering
at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) offer
joint programs in chemistry and chemical engineering, and in physics and
engineering.
These are dual degree programs in which the student will
receive a B.S. in chemistry or physical science (physics option) from
Radford University and a B.S. in engineering from Virginia Tech. The
approximate time required for a student to complete these programs is five
years.
During the first three years, the student completes the major
requirements in chemistry or physics, as well as most or all of the general
education requirements, at Radford. Some introductory engineering courses
should also be completed while the student is at Radford; some of these may
be taken during the summer. The student then transfers to Virginia Tech and,
in two additional years, completes the requirements for a degree in
engineering.
Participants in this program who have a grade point average of
3.0 or above are guaranteed admission to the College of
Engineering at Virginia Tech. All degree requirements for both Radford
University and Virginia Tech should be satisfied by the end of the fifth
year. The student then receives a degree from each institution.
Courses in general education during these three years at Radford will be
chosen in consultation with a faculty advisor. After transferring to
Virginia Tech, the student will complete any remaining general education
requirements and the requirements for the chemical engineering degree.
Further details about this program can be obtained by contacting the
department chairperson.
