Unlike with more rigid, traditional engineering programs, with the Converse-Clemson partnership you will:
- Benefit from two distinct academic environments, first Converse’s supportive, personal liberal arts environment, then Clemson University’s renowned General Engineering Program.
- Have more time to explore and confirm your long-term career goals before committing to a specific path
- Gain more career flexibility with degrees in two diverse areas
- Have support to explore your own diverse academic, athletic, or extracurricular interests
- Acquire the confidence and broad skill sets necessary to advance in technical management roles
According to Forbes Magazine, engineers are among some of the most sought-after professionals in America. They are also among the most well-paid. Engineers solve exciting and challenging problems and work for companies in just about every industry – from Fortune 500 companies to nonprofits dedicated to improving the human condition.
Together with your academic advisor, you will decide on a set of pre-engineering courses that will best fit your interests and anticipated Engineering major. You’ll also complete the basic requirements for the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degree, a minimum of 90 semester hours, at Converse before transferring to Clemson. To ensure admission into the Clemson engineering program of your choice, you’ll need to earn grades no lower than “C” in all courses in this dual-education program, and a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.7/4.0.
