This agreement establishes a plan whereby an undergraduate student will attend Albertson College for approximately three (3) academic years and Boise State University for approximately two (2) academic years. After completing the academic requirements of the two cooperating institutions, the student will be concurrently awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Pre-Engineering from Albertson College and a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering from 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 Boise State Univeristy:
(It is understood that Albertson College may delete any Boise State University program that is not compatible with Albertson College’s educational offerings.)
The Dual Degree Coordinator (DDC) at Boise State University (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 available from the DDC at BSU.
The student must satisfy the General Education Curriculum 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 Education Curriculum 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.

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.
In order for a student to attain full status as a dual degree candidate at BSU, the student must have:
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.
