completing the academic requirements of the two cooperating institutions,
the student will be concurrently awarded a Bachelor of Science in
Pre-Engineering from Albertson College and a Bachelor of Science in Civil,
electrical or Mechanical Engineering degree by Boise State University.
Dual-degree candidates from Albertson College are eligible to pursue a
bachelor’s degree in engineering in any of the following areas at BSU.
(It is understood that Albertson College may delete any BSU program that
is not compatible with Albertson College’s educational offerings.)
Civil engineering
Electrical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Any other area of Engineering to be offered in future by BSU
Courses which are to be Part of the Study Program at Albertson College
The Dual-Degree Coordinator (DDC) at BSU is to be contacted concerning
descriptions of course prerequisites and minimum course content. The
various engineering curricula at BSU are arranged so that a student will
take approximately 18 semester credit hours of humanities/social sciences
in addition to appropriate courses in English composition. Some of these
humanities/social science courses are prescribed while others can be
selected by the student from an approved list (which is available from the
DDC at BSU).
The student must satisfy the general graduation requirements of
Albertson College as well as those of Boise State University. A list of
these requirements will be found in the current Albertson College catalog.
A careful selection of courses will allow the student to satisfy most of
the general graduation requirements of both institutions with the same
group of courses.
If Albertson College cannot offer all of the courses listed below, or
if the student is unable to schedule all of the courses, Albertson agrees
to allow transfer credit applicable toward the Albertson degree for such
courses taken at BSU. The following amount of course credits in the
specified areas must be included in the three-year study program taken at
Albertson according to the degree sought at BSU. Students transferring
into Albertson must satisfy the residency requirements of Albertson prior
to being eligible for transfer to BSU.
To ACI/BSU Courses and Course Numbers
General Statement of Requirements to be imposed by Albertson College
and Option for Taking Courses Concurrently at Both Institutions.
The total study program at Albertson College will require that the
student complete 93 credits at that institution. The student will not attain
full status at BSU in this program until this requirement is satisfied.
The student pursuing the Dual-Degree Program may be jointly enrolled at
both institutions, and while enrolled full-time at either institution, may
take up to one course per term at the other institution at no additional
cost for tuition and/or fees at the other institution for that course.
Joint enrollment in accordance with this statement is subject to approval
by both institutions.
Requirements for approval for Degree-Seeking Status as a Dual-Degree
Student at Boise State University
In order for a student to attain full status as a dual-degree candidate
at BSU, the student must have:
- Completed 93 credits at Albertson College.
-
A recommendation from the designated official at Albertson.
-
Satisfied the admission requirements of BSU for transfer students as
specified in the BSU catalog in effect at the time of his/her
matriculation in BSU.
-
Admission to the college of Engineering at BSU is guaranteed to
Albertson students who satisfy the requirements stated above.
Hours of Course Credit to be required at Boise State University for the
Designated Bachelor’s Degree
The Dual-Degree program student will be required to complete a BSU
study program which normally equals the number of credit hours required of
juniors and seniors enrolled in the standard curriculum for the particular
degree being sought. If the official study program at BSU for the dual
degree candidate includes free electives and the candidate has excessive
ours by credit at Albertson, these excess hours will be reviewed and,
where appropriate, used to reduce the hours required at BSU.
Albertson College and University of Idaho
