BAEM Advising Guide

Dual Degrees

It is possible to get two degrees at the same time while attending the University of Minnesota. The following are the basic guidelines and then some specifics about a dual AEM/ME degree are given.

It is suggested that you have a meeting with the AEM Director of Undergraduate Studies to make your plans for obtaining a dual degree.

Guidelines

You must meet all the requirements for both degrees, however, common requirements need only be taken once. For example:
- Math, Physics and Chemistry courses taken count toward both degrees.
- Liberal education requirements need only to be met once.
Required courses for one degree can be used as technical electives for the other degree provided they met the requirements for the technical electives for that degree.

Dual AEM-ME Degree

Here are a few possible substitutions

Accept ME 3331 and ME 3333 instead of ME 3324
Can use ME 3332 as a prerequisite for AEM 4202, but you still need to take AEM 4201
If you have taken AEM 2021 you must also take either AEM 2011 or AEM 2012 in addition.
Accept ME 4031W for AEM 4601
ME 3281 can count as an AEM technical elective

Most of these will require petitions and should be discussed with the AEM Director of Undergraduate Studies first to make sure they are reasonable for your situation.

Note that ME may also allow substitutions of AEM courses for ME courses, but you will have to check with your ME advisor.
