Applied Science Major (BS)
This major offers a 58-semester-hour course of study, enabling students to pursue engineering in a discipline other than those currently offered at George Fox University. This dual degree 3/2 program is offered for students interested in pursuing engineering in a discipline such as chemical,* civil, environmental, or aerospace engineering. Students attend George Fox for three years, taking most of their general education, mathematics, science, and lower-division engineering courses. They may then qualify to transfer to any other engineering school where they spend two more years completing their engineering degree. Students completing this five-year program will receive two bachelor of science degrees: a degree in applied science from George Fox University after their fourth year, and a degree in engineering from the cooperating engineering school after their fifth year.
Special General Education Requirements
The chemistry and mathematics courses (listed below) also fulfill up to 9 hours of the sciences requirement for general education.

Students must transfer 12 additional semester hours in engineering courses from the cooperating engineering school.
The remainder of the engineering curriculum will be taken in two years at the cooperating engineering school. For a complete list of required courses, consult the engineering advisor or the registrar. General education requirements are substantially different for 3/2 engineering students. Details are available from the engineering advisor or the registrar.
*It is strongly recommended that students interested in pursuing the 3/2 option in chemical engineering also enroll in CHEM 331 Organic Chemistry (4), CHEM 332 Organic Chemistry (4), CHEM 401 Physical Chemistry (4), and CHEM 402 Physical Chemistry (4) during their three years at George Fox University.
