Bachelor of Science -- Major in Chemistry
Dual-Degree Engineering

This program allows a student to complete all of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, including all major requirements as well as those in general education, in three years and a summer of residence at Emporia State. All that remains after the third year is to meet the requirement of 124 semester hours in order to graduate.

The dual-degree program permits the student to transfer back to Emporia State as many hours of engineering courses as are necessary to fulfill the 124 hour requirement, and suspends the residency rule that requires students to be currently enrolled at the time of graduation. A student can normally expect to graduate ESU after his or her fourth year of college (and the first at the engineering school), and to receive the B.S. in engineering from either Kansas State University (KSU) or the University of Kansas (KU) after the fifth year.
