Dual Degree with
Georgia Tech
(Engineering + Computer Science)
Through an agreement between Clayton State University and Georgia Institute of Technology, students who wish to study engineering may begin their undergraduate program at Clayton State University and later transfer to Georgia Institute of Technology through the Dual Degree Engineering Program. By enrolling in the Dual Degree Program, a student may attend college close to home, which can decrease cost, in a college environment where classes are smaller. This can provide more individual attention and interaction with professors as the student is making the adjustment to college life.
Students who attend Clayton State University under the Dual Degree Engineering Program will be complete a specified three-year curriculum at Clayton State and then attend Georgia Tech for approximately two years. After completion of the program of study at Georgia Tech, the student will receive a Bachelor of Science Degree from Clayton State University and a Bachelor’s degree in the student’s chosen engineering discipline from Georgia Tech. The degree options at Clayton State are B.S. in Computer Science, B.S. in Integrative Studies, and B.S. in Mathematics.
In order to be considered for admission to the College of Engineering at Georgia Tech as a dual degree transfer student, students must complete the prescribed program of study at the participating institution, students must meet the admissions requirements for their engineering major and meet the Georgia Tech GPA requirements. For Georgia residents, a cumulative overall GPA of 2.7 is required, including a mathematics GPA of 2.7 and a science GPA of 2.7.
The Dual Degree Program at Clayton State requires 92-98 semester hours at Clayton State (98-101 for B.S. in Computer Science). Approximately 60 hours of coursework is required at Georgia Tech to complete the engineering program: of that number, 22-28 hours of upper division coursework transfers back to Clayton State to complete the 120 hour program of study leading to the B.S. at Clayton State (19-22 for B.S. in Computer Science).
