Interested in multiple programs?

Dual Major with CS-Eng, DS-Eng, or Computer Engineering

CS-Eng, DS-Eng, and CE students can pursue a dual major with another CoE department, when interested. Students considering adding a second major should be mindful of the following: 

  • Dual majors must reach 142 CTP before graduation.
  • Dual majors pursuing two EECS majors must complete an additional 14 credits of technical coursework beyond what’s shared between two majors. 
  • Students must take a CS-Eng MDE course and earn a C or higher, even if a senior design course is required of the other major. 
  • Please note: A dual major combination of CS-Eng with DS-Eng is not allowed.

Details and a list of double counting courses by dual major can be found here.
