This is an example of the sequence of courses that a dual degree engineering student at Presbyterian College might take. It includes all the required physics and math courses, and a typical sequence of general education courses. The exact math and general education courses that a student needs to take depend on the results of placement exams or evaluations in math, English and foreign language, so these are only examples.
After their third year at PC, dual-degree students transfer to Clemson, Auburn or Vanderbilt University, where they continue their studies in engineering for two years. At the end of the fifth year, they receive a B.S. degree in Physics from PC, and a bachelor's degree in engineering from the other school.
This sequence reflects the new dual-degree requirements which took effect in fall 2006. Students who declared for the dual-degree program through spring 2006 are subject to the old requirements.
In the notes column, DD indicates a dual-degree requirement, GE indicates a general education requirement, and R indicates a recommended course.
