DUAL DEGREE ENGINEERING PROGRAM
LaGrange College has an engineering preparation program designed to provide a broad liberal
arts background while preparing the student for a professional engineering program. Dual
Degree Engineering Programs have been established with Georgia Institute of Technology and
Auburn University. Students accepted in the Dual Degree program will attend LaGrange College
for approximately three (3) years (90 semester hours if entering under this Bulletin) while they
complete the Core Curriculum and the engineering preparatory courses listed at the end of this
section. After satisfactorily completing these studies at LaGrange College, the student will then
attend the engineering institution and complete a major in engineering, a process that generally
takes two to three (2 to 3) additional years. After completion of the degree requirements for both
institutions, the student will receive an engineering degree in the selected engineering discipline
from the engineering institution and a Bachelor of Arts degree from LaGrange College.
All students considering the Dual Degree Engineering Program should contact the program
adviser, Dr. Terry Austin, prior to registration. Students must complete all components of the
Core Curriculum, including the College‘s exit assessment exam before transferring to the
engineering institution.
Dual Degree Engineering students must satisfactorily complete all of the following courses
before attending the engineering institution:
Calculus I, II and III
Differential Equations
Linear Algebra (GA Tech.)
