BS/BMus or BS/BAMus in Engineering and Music
Highly capable students who have a strong interest in and commitment to both engineering and music may apply to the McCormick School–Bienen School dual bachelor’s degree program. Students accepted into this program may simultaneously earn a bachelor of science degree from the McCormick School and a bachelor of music or bachelor of arts in music degree from the Bienen School (BS/BMus or BS/BAMus).
Dual degree students must complete all requirements for both degrees (see the double counting allowances in the chart below) and the Undergraduate Registration Requirement. Each school enforces all of its policies regarding requirements.
The program may be entered no later than the beginning of the sophomore year, and admission requires concurrent approval of both the McCormick School and the Bienen School. Current students interested in this program should consult with advisers in the Undergraduate Engineering Office in the McCormick School and the assistant dean for student affairs in the Bienen School.
