Engineering

The Converse-Clemson Engineering Partnership can earn you two degrees, providing you with a versatile liberal arts perspective, as well as a strong technical skill set to solve some of the world’s most challenging problems.

With the Converse-Clemson partnership, you will earn two degrees upon completion of the program: a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry or Mathematics from Converse, and a Bachelor of Science from Clemson in one of their engineering disciplines 

Open the door to careers in nearly every field, including computers, aerospace, biomedical, and even the arts. Engineering is a rare blend of technical career, diverse interests and creative problem-solving.

Degrees Offered

The Converse-Clemson partnership is based on earning a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry or Mathematics.

This dual-degree program allows students to pursue a bachelor’s degree at Converse while preparing for an engineering degree from Clemson University. Together with your Converse academic advisor, you will decide on a set of pre-engineering courses that best fit your interests and anticipated engineering major.

Visit the Clemson website to learn more about the Converse-Clemson Engineering Partnership.

About the Converse-Clemson Engineering Partnership

With the Converse-Clemson partnership, you will earn two degrees upon completion of the program: a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science from Converse, and a Bachelor of Science from Clemson in one of their engineering disciplines.

After three years, successful students may transfer to Clemson to complete the degree requirements for one of 10 engineering bachelor’s degrees.

Upon completion of the engineering degree, students are awarded a BS degree from Clemson and a BA or BS degree from Converse.

Converse Engineering with Clemson

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.

Converse College Engineering Program

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.
