It is possible for engineering students to pursue two undergraduate degrees. There are several considerations that might influence a student’s decision to pursue more than one degree. Those include:

• How will this benefit the student?
• Can the majors be completed in a reasonable amount of time?
• What are the added costs of a double major or dual degree?
• How many hours is the student bringing in?

The Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering offers a Dual Degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Both majors are administered by the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and the programs are very similar for the first three years. Students who wish to pursue this Dual Degree should speak with their Academic Advisor in MAE.

For Majors outside the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering or other Majors within the college (not listed above), students are advised to carefully consider their academic and professional objectives. Each individual department must approve the dual degree.

Your academic advisor will be happy to discuss these options with you once you have completed Preview and all of your incoming credits have been posted to your UF transcript. In the meantime, review the model semester plans for the relevant majors in the university catalog.
