Chemistry/Engineering Dual Degree Program
North Georgia College & State University offers a dual degree program which allows students to receive a bachelor's degree in Chemistry from NGCSU and a bachelor's degree in engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia; Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina; or Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. The dual degree program gives students the opportunity to develop a strong liberal arts background before completing the coursework in engineering at another institution. Typically, dual degree students attend North Georgia for three years and then the engineering school for an additional two years.
Dual Degree Requirements:
Complete the credit hours at North Georgia shown in the requirements listed below (exclusive of physical education and military courses).
Receive a recommendation from North Georgia's dual degree coordinator.
Earn a grade point average which indicates the student could satisfactorily complete the degree requirements at the second institution.
Complete a program at the second institution with the same number of credit hours as required of juniors and seniors enrolled in the standard curriculum for the degree at that school.
If the official study program at the second institution includes electives and the candidate has excess hours at North Georgia, he/she may petition for the use of these excess hours as transfer credit. Transfer credits shall not amount to more than one half of the official study program.
