Engineering

How we learn

Dual degree students typically major in physics, chemistry, mathematics, or computer science at Knox, although biology, biochemistry, economics, or environmental studies are appropriate majors for certain engineering specialties.

Students in the dual degree program spend three years at Knox, followed by two years in an engineering program at a cooperating institution. Available engineering specialties at the cooperating institutions include:
