The College of Idaho’s Engineering Dual-Degree (BA) major is designed for students interested in combining a liberal arts experience with an engineering education. Whether you are interested in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, biomedical engineering, environmental engineering or more, the Engineering Dual-Degree helps set students on a path to becoming an engineer.
Through this major, students complete the major requirements at the College and then transfer to one of our partner schools. Students may focus their course of study in any field so long as they complete the required courses identified in this major. This major makes it easier for students to identify the courses necessary for the most popular engineering fields.
Upon completion of the dual-degree program at both The College of Idaho and at one of our partner schools, students will earn two degrees: a BA in engineering from the College and a BS in engineering from the partner school. This dual-degree program typically takes five years to complete – three years at the College and two years at one of our partner schools.
The College of Idaho provided Annika Thomas ’19, who completed a dual degree in engineering, the perfect path to change her story from one of dreaming of the science behind the satellites she saw in the sky as a child, to becoming the lead designer on a cube satellite while pursuing her Ph.D. at MIT.
As a Vice President at Micron, Beth Elroy ’92 is pioneering a new role, leading a worldwide team responsible for developing and implementing EHS (Environment, Health and Safety) and Sustainability strategies. Of the proverbial blank slate with this role, Elroy said in a recent interview on Impact Podcast with John Shegerian: “It’s like building the airplane while you’re flying it, but it’s a lot of fun.”
B.A. in Mathematics. Master of Engineering with an emphasis in Environmental Engineering from Idaho State University. Vice President, Global EHS & Sustainability, Micron Technology, Inc. Idaho Board Member, Department of Environment Quality. Idaho Business Review’s 2024 Most Influential Business Leaders.
The College positioned me well to see the whole picture and put the pieces together throughout my career. I work to solve environmental problems with engineers, construction workers, bankers, business executives, regulators, community stakeholders, scientists, and consultants. I am never the expert in the room, but can put disparate pieces together in a way that has made me a valuable addition to every team I've worked on.
B.A. in Environmental Studies with minors in History and Religion and a specialization in Conservation Biology.
The first CofI professor I met was Dr. Mark Gunderson, and I recall being amazed at his open honesty, his sense of humanity, and his broad knowledge base. As I met more College faculty, I realized that Dr. Gunderson is not an outlier – he is an excellent example of how incredible all CofI faculty are. Though there are other universities I could have gone to, that was a huge factor that made the College very appealing.
B.A in Environmental Studies and Literature & Creative Writing with a minor in Classics and a specialization in Conservation Biology.
“Majoring in Biomedical Sciences prepared me perfectly for my career in biomedical research. I gained the knowledge and laboratory skills that made me a high-quality candidate for my current career, and the College’s curriculum made me a rounded student in both STEM and humanities which led me to be accepted into my Ph.D. program in Biomolecular Science.”
B.S. in Biomedical Sciences. M.S. in Biomolecular Science and PhD candidate in Biomolecular Science from Boise State University. Research Laboratory Technician for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Your innovative spirit has propelled you this far. What’s next? That’s for you to dream, make, live and unleash at The College of Idaho. Come see what awaits you here.
