Dual Degree with Partnering Institutions
Students who participate in the pre-engineering dual degree program attend Birmingham-
Southern College for a portion of their degree and then continue their education at one of
the College’s partnering institutions. After completing the academic requirements at both
schools, the student is awarded a bachelor’s degree from Birmingham-Southern College
and an engineering degree from the partnering institution.
The College maintains partnering arrangements with two schools for which admittance
into those engineering programs is guaranteed after completing the Birmingham-
Southern College pre-engineering requirements, upon a favorable recommendation by the
College’s faculty liaison, and sundry additional requirements specific to either the partner
or the engineering discipline. The partnering institutions include the University of
Alabama at Birmingham and Washington University in St. Louis. Interested students are
encouraged to contact one of the pre-engineering advisors for specifics on requirements
for each school and engineering program.
