Explore this Program
The dual degree program gives students the opportunity to gain a background the humanities and social sciences, while also pursuing an engineering degree. At the end of five years, the student will earn a bachelor of arts degree from Capital University and a bachelor of science degree in engineering from either Case Western Reserve or Washington University. If a student chooses to take a third year at the partner institution, they can earn a master of science degree as well.
To complete an engineering degree within two years of transferring, students should take courses in basic science, mathematics, humanities, and social sciences.

Choose Your Path
At Capital, you’ll start by choosing a major that gives you a strong foundation for what’s next. Dual Degree Engineering students spend their first three years here earning a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics, Computer Science, or Chemistry — building the skills and experience that set them up for success when they transfer to complete their engineering degree.
Mathematics
Capital’s Mathematics program blends a strong liberal arts foundation with in-depth study of both classical and contemporary mathematical topics. Students begin with a two-course sequence in calculus and mathematical proofs, then move into intermediate-level courses such as linear algebra, abstract algebra, mathematical statistics, differential equations, and a third calculus course. The program also offers electives in areas like combinatorics, real analysis, and intermediate statistics, and includes at least one required programming course to support computational skills.
Computer Science
Capital’s Computer Science program covers a wide range of topics designed to prepare students for both foundational and emerging areas in the field. Core courses in software development lay the groundwork for advanced study in computer architecture, database systems, software engineering, advanced algorithms, and more. The strong theoretical base is complemented by extensive hands-on experience. Students build their skills by writing their own programs and tackling larger, collaborative projects in upper-level courses.
Chemistry
Capital’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry provides students with a strong foundation in chemical concepts, laboratory skills, problem-solving, and data analysis. Students have the opportunity to participate in faculty-led research projects, where they “own” their work and collaborate directly with a faculty mentor. In both first-year chemistry courses, students complete at least one Research Experience to Enhance Learning (REEL) lab. These experiences serve as valuable preparation for more traditional research opportunities.
