夏威夷太平洋大学

The Dual Degree Program can be an attractive alternative to traditional engineering curricula. Students fulfill all the General Education requirements of Hawai‘i Pacific University and our partner schools while they prepare and perfect their problem solving skills. This program is a five-year commitment, studying at both Hawaii Pacific University (the first three years) and one of our partner schools (the last two years) to obtain both a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science in Engineering. We have a partnership with the University of Southern California’s School of Engineering (Los Angeles, CA) and Washington University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science (St. Louis, MO) that allows our students to apply for transfer to complete their second degree. Students may pursue degrees in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Chemical engineering at our partner schools.

WHY HPU FOR 3+2?

Our dual degree program graduates are "liberally-educated engineers," with strong communication and problem-solving skills.

Other advantages of our program include:

• Earning two different degrees in just five years
• Being able to attend two distinct academic institutions, confident that all of your major credits will transfer
• Exceptional diversity in our student population and unique location at the crossroads of the Pacific
• Opportunity to use the supportive, personalized environment of a small liberal arts institution to develop the skills and confidence needed for success in engineering

As mentioned above, students in our Dual Degree Program will develop strong oral and written communication skills, a broad background in the humanities / social sciences as well problem-solving competence. This will prepare them for career opportunities which require multidisciplinary teams to address the challenges of our age.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
