Architecture / Architectural Engineering Dual Degree Program
Interdisciplinary Major
The Architecture/Architectural Engineering Dual Degree Program leads to both the Bachelor of Architecture degree and the Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering degree.
This program combines the course requirements of both degrees and requires six years for completion. For prospective freshmen, the home of the dual degree is the School of Architecture. Internal transfers who wish to pursue both degrees must be admitted separately to both the School of Architecture and the Cockrell School of Engineering.
