Dual Education Program

Dual Degrees, Double the Opportunities

Clemson's Engineering Education Partnership Program

Clemson University offers Dual-Education degrees in cooperation with several liberal arts schools in and around South Carolina. These programs allow students to begin their academic careers by pursuing a bachelor's degree at a partner institution while preparing for an engineering degree at Clemson University.

• Enroll in a prearranged 3-year liberal arts or science program
• Complete 90* hours of course credit at a chosen liberal arts college/university
• Supplement program with courses required for B.S. degree in Engineering

Typical Path: After three years at the first school, students may transfer to Clemson. They'll spend roughly 2.5 to 3 years here (depending on the chosen major's requirements), focusing on one of Clemson's 11 engineering bachelor's degrees. The exact time depends on the courses already taken. Eager students can get ahead by taking some engineering courses at their first school, potentially completing both degrees more quickly.

Graduation: Upon completion, students are awarded a B.S. degree in their engineering major from Clemson and a B.A. or B.S. degree from their original partner school.

To make the most of this opportunity, it's beneficial to stay in touch with the Clemson Transfer Advisor early in the college journey. The advisor can help choose the best path towards both degrees, saving time and ensuring a smooth transition to Clemson.

Participating Colleges

To assist students in determining the best course of study, Dual Education participants will work with an academic advisor at both institutions. Coursework and grade point average must meet CECAS program requirements before the student can transfer to Clemson University.

Students who plan to participate in the program will need to complete a form entitled "Intention to Pursue the Dual-Degree Program at Clemson University." Please find the forms listed by each school below.
