Dual Degree Programs
In addition to the above degrees, the college offers dual degree programs where a Bachelor of Science degree is offered by two colleges at Texas Tech:
Multidisciplinary degrees are also available within the Whitacre College of Engineering:
Whitacre College of Engineering Minors
Bioengineering Minor. A minor in bioengineering is available to students enrolled in any Whitacre College of Engineering degree program. This minor consists of four required preparatory courses (in biology, chemistry, and statistics), one course in a bioengineering core area (biomechanics, biochemical engineering, or bioinstrumentation), and two approved bioengineering elective courses. Students who wish to pursue this minor should see their advisor or the academic dean.
Engineering Minor. The Whitacre College of Engineering offers an engineering minor for students enrolled in academic programs outside of the college. This minor consists of a minimum of 18 hours of engineering coursework with at least 6 hours completed at the junior level or above (3000- or 4000-level courses). The academic dean of the Whitacre College of Engineering must approve all programs of study for this minor.
Nuclear Engineering Minor. A minor in nuclear engineering is available through the Big 12 Engineering Consortium. A small group of Big 12 universities offer nuclear engineering courses to students enrolled at any of the Big 12 institutions. For more information on the program, visit the Nuclear Engineering minor site. Students who wish to pursue this minor at Texas Tech should see their advisor or the academic dean.
Certificate in Technology Entrepreneurship. This program prepares engineering students for their future work environment by providing some basic business terminology and the chance to work along-side business students to find solutions to real-world problems. Whether you plan to start your own business or work in a corporate environment, these skills will prove invaluable. You can find more detailed information at our CTE page.
Departmental Minors. Students from other colleges or students outside their major department may elect to minor in an academic program of the Whitacre College of Engineering. Each department will specify the required courses and number of hours that constitute a minor from their programs. Information on approved minors, if offered, is available from each department chair.
Students from other colleges or engineering students outside their major department may wish to minor in one of the engineering disciplines. The Texas Tech Catalog has more information on the minors available through the Whitacre College of Engineering.
Combined Bachelor's and Masters Degrees (150-hour Dual Degree Programs)
The Whitacre College of Engineering provides a 150-hour dual degree that allows students eligible for graduate school to earn both a B.S. and a M.S. degree with approximately 150 hours. Students are allowed to use graduate work that closely matches the subject requirements of the undergraduate degree to substitute for undergraduate courses. Students should contact their department for details about the curriculum. Students interested in this program must apply to the Graduate School prior to taking graduate courses. Early planning and contact with the department advisors is essential because in some cases students may be able to connect undergraduate research experience to their thesis work in graduate school.
