Admission to Program
Students will be allowed to apply to the Double Dawg Dual Degree program during the fall or spring semester of their junior year in Engineering.
To be considered for the dual degree pathway the student must submit a College of Engineering Pathway Application (PDF) and meet the following requirements:
1) Have an overall UGA GPA of 3.0.
2) Have completed all the necessary pre-requisites for their respective undergraduate degree programs required to enroll in Capstone Design I (AENG 4910, CVLE 4910, ENVE 4910 or MCHE 4910) during Fall Semester of their Senior Year.
3) Submit an essay indicating their professional interests and career goals within an ECAM degree program.
4) Provide a letter of support from a faculty member within the School of ECAM indicating that the faculty member will serve as the student’s mentor during the next Academic Year (Senior Year in Engineering). In this role, the faculty member will commit their time to helping the student start their graduate program and give them advice on potential coursework and master’s project. By agreeing to serve as the student’s mentor, the faculty member does not guarantee continued advisement during their fifth year in the program.
Admission to the dual degree pathway does not guarantee admission to the graduate program.
At the end of the student's senior year:
If both parties agree that this graduate program does not meet their needs, the student may choose not to continue in their fifth year of study.
