Engineering Science, B.S.

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Engineering science is an interdisciplinary major designed to provide students with a diverse set of skills that will allow them to apply engineering principles to areas such as computing, finance, manufacturing, medicine, and politics.

To earn a degree in engineering science, students are required to complete the engineering science core courses. Upon completion of those courses, students have two options. Students who wish to stay at Millikin for four years to complete their undergraduate degree may choose to complete an additional 16 hours of coursework at the 300-level from the list below and complete any additional graduation requirements. The second option is to complete a dual degree program with one of our partnership institutions. Students completing this option typically complete three years of coursework at Millikin and two years at the partner school. For a list of our current dual degree partnerships, go to http://millikin.edu/STEM.
