Typical Degree Combinations

Bachelors/MBA Combined Degrees

Double Majors

A double major is the awarding of one degree with two majors (e.g., the student completing a double major in mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering earns one B.S. degree). Students must be accepted into each major and fulfill all requirements of each major in addition to satisfying all university requirements. This may be completed within the usual 120-credit minimum. Following conferral of the degree, the student’s transcript will note one baccalaureate degree and two majors.

CEN/EE Double Major

The following guide has been prepared to make it easy for you to determine the additional requirements needed for the EE/CEN combination:

ME/ASE Double Major

Follow all requirements for ASE major and add:

  • MAE 311 Machines I (3 credits)
  • MAE 364 Manufacturing Process (3 credits)
  • MAE 494 Design Project (3 credits)
  • One Professional Practice course (3 credits)

Math Minor

Follow basic math requirements for any engineering major and add MTH 309 and two additional upper level math courses.

  • MTH141 College Calculus I
  • MTH142 College Calculus II
  • MTH241 College Calculus III
  • MTH306 Introduction to Differential Equations
  • MTH309 Introductory Linear Algebra (Applied math elective in ME/CIE/CEN, TE in ASE/CE/EE, Required in IE)
  • Two additional 300/400-level mathematics electives from within the Department of Mathematics (sometimes can fulfill free elective or TE requirements in engineering)

Acceptance criteria: Minimum GPA of 2.5 in MTH141-142, and 241 (or approved transfer equivalent). Complete an application for a minor (available in the Math Undergraduate Office) and submit it together with a copy of the most recent UB DARS report. Note: A GPA of 2.0 is required in these courses for departmental recommendation for a minor in mathematics.

Other Combinations

Other typical combinations include Chemistry (minor or major), Physics (minor or major), or the biotechnology minor through the BIO dept (for chemical engineering majors).
