Students must complete all of the requirements for a B.S. degree listed in the Berry College Catalog with the following exceptions:
- The student must complete an engineering major at the engineering school before receiving a degree from Berry College. The requirements for the engineering major may be completed at the engineering school. Students who intend to complete a major at Berry must satisfy all requirements for that major, including at least 15 hours of 300/400 level courses taken at Berry.
- Students do NOT need to complete the requirements for a major at Berry. If they do not complete a Berry major then their Berry degree will be in “dual-degree engineering.” Students may elect to take additional coursework in order to complete a Berry major so that their Berry degree will be in that major. The Applied Physics major is strongly recommended.
- Students must complete 93 semester hours of credit at Berry College before transferring to the engineering school and must complete a total of 124 semester hours before receiving their Berry degree.
- Students need not complete their last two semesters in residence at Berry College (since they will be enrolled at the engineering school during those semesters).
Dual-degree engineering students must complete all other Berry College B.S. degree requirements, including Foundations requirements, writing-intensive coursework, and an appropriate number of cultural events.
Dual-degree engineering students must complete all required coursework and meet the minimum GPA requirements for transfer to the engineering school in the desired engineering field. Detailed requirements for each school are given below, but the following courses are required for all dual-degree engineering students.
| Required Dual-degree Engineering Courses | 44 hours | |
|---|---|---|
| PHY 211 | General Physics I with Calculus | 3-2-4 |
| PHY 212 | General Physics II with Calculus | 3-2-4 |
| PHY 321I | Computational Methods of Physics | 4-0-4 |
| CHM 108 | General Chemistry I | 3-3-4 |
| CHM 109 | General Chemistry II | 3-3-4 |
| MAT 201 | Calculus I | 4-0-4 |
| MAT 202 | Calculus II | 4-0-4 |
| MAT 203 | Multivariable Calculus | 4-0-4 |
| MAT 304 | Differential Equations | 3-0-3 |
| MAT 303 | Linear Algebra | 3-0-3 |
| CSC 120 | Designing Programs: Problem-solving and Abstraction | 3-2-4 |
| 2nd WI course | Another 300-level or higher WI course |
3-0-3 or greater |

* Both Ga Tech and KSU require two semesters of writing composition courses. Students can either take RHW 101 or submit an approved writing sample to satisfy the requirement for a second composition course.
^Both Ga Tech and KSU require a 2-hour wellness course which can be satisfied by taking Berry’s KIN 221 AND a KIN activity course.
