Senior Testing
All seniors may be required to participate in a
testing program designed to provide objective
evidence of educational development. If the
Committee on Academic Affairs decides to
conduct such a program, its purpose would
be to assist the University in assessing the effectiveness
of its programs. The program does
not supplant the regular administration of the
Graduate Record Examination for students
applying for admission to graduate school.
Combined Degrees in Medical
Technology
Students may qualify for the bachelor of science
degree in medical technology by completion
of the academic requirements outlined in
the following paragraph and by satisfactory
completion of the full program in medical
technology offered by the Division of Allied
Health Programs of the Wake Forest School
of Medicine. A grade of at least C is required
in all courses taken in the program in medical
technology. At least one year (twenty-eight
hours) of the required academic work must
be completed in the College. (Under current
scheduling, successful candidates receive the
baccalaureate degree in August rather than
in May.)
Students seeking admission to the program
must file application in the fall of the junior
year with the Division of Allied Health
Programs of the medical school. Selection is
based upon recommendations of teachers,
college academic record, Allied Health Professions
Admissions Test score or SAT/ACT
scores, impressions made in personal interviews,
and work experience (not essential,
but important). Students must complete all
core course requirements: BIO 112, 113, 213,
214 (three courses or equivalents); BIO 326;
CHM 111/111L, 122/122L, 223/223L, 230 and
260; mathematics (one course); and electives
for a total of eighty-four hours. Desirable
electives outside the area of chemistry and
biology include physics, computer science,
and personnel and management courses.
(Interested students should consult a biology
department faculty member during the first
year for further information.)
Degrees in Engineering
The College cooperates with engineering
schools in offering a broad course of study in
the arts and sciences combined with specialized
training in engineering. A program
for outstanding students covers five years
of study, including three years in the College
and approximately two years in one
of the schools of engineering accredited by
ABET, the Accrediting Board for Engineering
Technology. (Depending upon the field
chosen, it may be advisable for a student to
attend the summer session in the engineering
school after transfer.) Admission to Wake
Forest does not guarantee admission to the
engineering school. Those decisions are based
on the student’s transcript, performance, and
status at the time of application. Upon successful
completion of the five years of study,
the student receives the bachelor of science
degree in engineering from the University
and the bachelor of science degree in one of
the specialized engineering fields from the
engineering school.
The curriculum for the first three years
must include all the core requirements and
additional courses in science and mathematics
which will prepare the student for the study
of engineering, such as MTH 111, 112, 251,
301, 302, and 304; PHY 113, 114, 141, 162, 165,
and 166; CHM 111, 111L, 122, and 122L; and
ECN 150.
These electives are chosen in consultation
with the chair of the Department of Physics.
Degrees in Forestry
and Environmental Studies
The College cooperates with the Duke University
School of Forestry and Environmental
Studies to offer students interested in these
