The Bachelor of Arts in Engineering Science (BA-ES) is an interdisciplinary program focused on comprehending and applying engineering, scientific, and mathematical concepts. It establishes a comprehensive grounding in the sciences and related mathematics that form the basis of engineering, while allowing students to develop specialized expertise in their chosen field through technical electives.
The BA-ES program builds a strong base for careers such as patent law, technical writing, science advising, technical sales, and science and engineering education. As there is no uniform curriculum, the engineering science major does not hold ABET accreditation. Students pursuing this non-accredited degree who aim to become licensed professional engineers should note that additional education, work experience, or both will be necessary to qualify for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam.
Through strategic selection of electives and cluster courses, engineering science students can concentrate on one or more key areas. This approach facilitates deeper knowledge in specific subjects and may lead to earning a minor. Since BA-ES students have flexible pathways, the provided four-year plans are merely illustrative examples for potential specializations.
Along with acquiring a solid background in science, mathematics, and engineering, students in this focus area complete a philosophy minor that fulfills the humanities cluster requirement.
