Bachelor of Arts in Applied Science and Technology (AS&T)

[129 credit hours]
2005-2006

 
 

This is a broad-based engineering-oriented degree program, with a breadth of liberal arts, for students who intend to make their careers in fields allied to science, engineering and technology and/or continue their education toward professional careers in law, medicine, business, teaching, or the media. It is designed to help students pursue their goals in a world that relies more and more upon science and technology. The program can be enhanced with a second major in either the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences (CCAS) or the Elliott School of International Affairs (ESIA). A second major in SEAS is also possible.
