4+1: BSE+Master's Program

Many students and employers recognize the value of a masters level education in an engineering discipline or management to complement the undergraduate engineering education. Coordinated five year Bachelor of Science in Engineering/Master's programs are available in all Pratt departments. Students interested in completing both degrees within five years of study may be able do so by a special “Pratt 4+1” program.

There are three options for pursuing an accelerated BSE/Master's degree:

Double Majors and Minors

At Duke, engineering students can combine engineering and non-engineering disciplines to double major. All course requirements for both majors must be satisfied. Among the most common non-engineering second majors are public policy studies, economics, mathematics and physics.

Most of the departments in Trinity College of Arts and Sciences have established minors and engineering students are eligible to enroll in them. Trinity and Pratt students may enroll in the minor in electrical and computer engineering. Pratt offers a minor in energy engineering for BSE candidates. The courses required for each minor are specified by the department/academic program. Minors require a minimum of five courses, including at least three above the introductory level.
