Pre-Engineering
Students participating in this dual-degree program satisfy basic requirements
for entering an engineering program at another university. TLU awards an applied
science degree upon completion of TLU and engineering school requirements for
an engineering degree. Three years are spent at TLU to satisfy preparation in
mathematics and physical sciences as well as broadening in liberal arts expected
of a well-trained engineer.
APPLIED SCIENCE
Major in applied science (Dual Degree, Applied Science/Engineering Program): A dual degree can be obtained that consists of three years of course- work at Texas Lutheran followed by two to three years at an engineering school. This program is designed for students interested in engineering who also wish to obtain a broader background in other disciplines. The student begins by completing the general education requirements and the subject area requirements for a bachelor’s degree at Texas Lutheran as well as basic courses in physics (PHYS 240, 241, 312, 392), engineering/physics (ENGR 132, 383, 390, 391), chemistry (CHEM 143), mathematics (MATH 231, 232, 333, 334), statistics (STAT 374) and four hours of electives. Normally, this will take three academic years. In addition, the student, while at Texas Lutheran, may take some courses that will transfer as “directed electives” at an engineering school. Current agreements are with Baylor University and Southern Methodist University engineering schools.
A student wishing to obtain a applied science degree from Texas Lutheran must complete the following TLU coursework and then apply for admission to a college of engineering. Engineering courses taken at the engineering school will complete requirements for the major in applied science at Texas Lutheran after the engineering degree has been completed. At that time Texas Lutheran will award the bachelor of arts degree with a major in applied science.
