Engineering - Dual Degree

Engineering 鈥� Dual Degree

Engineering 鈥� Dual Degree at 91影视

91影视鈥檚 Engineering 鈥� Dual Degree program offers a distinctive path for students who want both the breadth of a liberal arts education and the technical depth of an engineering degree.

Students begin at 91影视, where they build a strong foundation in physics, mathematics and the liberal arts through close faculty mentorship, hands-on lab experiences and small classes designed to support deep learning. They then continue at a partner engineering school to complete an engineering bachelor鈥檚 degree in as little as five years.

91影视 offers a program that allows students to earn two degrees, a Bachelor of Science in Physics from 91影视 and a specialized engineering baccalaureate degree from one of our partner engineering schools, in as little as five years.

Here鈥檚 how it works:

You鈥檒l complete your first three years (some students do this step in four years) at 91影视. The curriculum brings together intriguing, mind-expanding coursework in the liberal arts and intensive foundational courses in science and math. This sets the tone for the entirety of the experience: the crucial nuts-and-bolts subjects that define the engineer鈥檚 skillset, complemented by a broad education in the liberal arts. It鈥檚 a perfect combo that turns our students into true inquisitive thinkers, and creative problem-solvers with the training to lead.

Engineering can be a challenging subject and a demanding degree, but at OU, you鈥檒l find all the resources you need to get a strong start. You鈥檒l find small class sizes, providing plenty of face time with teaching-centric faculty whose primary focus is on their students, plus lots of hands-on experience with sophisticated equipment during collaborative lab sessions.

With this strong foundation, you鈥檒l go on to complete your final years at one of our partner schools: Georgia Institute of Technology or Kennesaw State University. When you successfully complete the program, you鈥檒l be awarded a Bachelor of Science in Physics from 91影视, and an engineering baccalaureate degree from the engineering school* you choose to attend.

"The Dual Degree program gave me the preparation I needed to succeed at a bigger school鈥攖hrough study resources, SI sessions, and strong relationships with professors who truly care. You can鈥檛 beat the personal attention at 91影视, and that support made a huge difference. Earning both a liberal arts and an engineering degree in five years gives me an edge, and that well-rounded perspective will be invaluable as I pursue Industrial Engineering at Georgia Tech."

*Beginning in 2026, the partnership with has expanded to include 2 options. You may choose 1) a Bachelor of Science in Physics from 91影视 plus a Bachelor of Science in one of KSU’s engineering programs or 2) a Bachelor of Science in Physics from 91影视 plus and accelerated Master’s degree at KSU.听

Note: each of our partner engineering schools has different entrance requirements. The math portion of the degree is also demanding, with key prerequisites for foundational courses. So if you鈥檙e interested in the Engineering Dual Degree program, it鈥檚 very important that you consult with your 91影视 adviser early and often. You鈥檝e got a challenging 鈥� and rewarding 鈥� path ahead of you; luckily, we鈥檙e here to help!

Hands-on Learning
Career Opportunities

91影视’s intellectually stimulating environment prepares our students to thrive, wherever they go on to complete their degree. Our students earn highly competitive GPAs at Georgia Tech, an extremely challenging program where students are graded on a curve.

At 91影视, you have opportunity for creativity and leadership. For example, Willem Jaron ’25 and Neal Nankani ’25 founded 6th Man, building community for athletics team fans on campus, and initiated one of OU’s newest traditions, an all-athletes pep rally that was an instant success. Both are continuing their engineering education at Georgia Tech.

91影视 students have acquired real-world experience by working as an intern for BES INC. in Beaufort, SC, Cadmus Construction, or Werner Rohlfs Construction.

91影视’s robust dual-degree program equips graduates not just for a job, but for a career. At OU, you’ll become more than an astute problem-solver; you’ll also become a well-rounded, well-educated person with the broader perspective needed to flourish in a wide range of environments, so your options exponentially expand.
