Dual Degree Programs

Engineering Arts (EGN)

Associate Professor David Bowman, Program Coordinator

Special arrangements have been made by which an undergraduate student may attend Georgetown College for three years and the University of Kentucky for two years and receive degrees from both the institutions. After completing the requirements of both institutions, the student will be awarded a Bachelor of Science Degree with a major in Engineering Arts from Georgetown College and one of the following degrees from the University of Kentucky: Bachelor of Science in Agricultural, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical Engineering, Material or Mining Engineering.

In all cases Dual-Degree students must:

• Have a minimum of 96 semester hours credited at Georgetown College.
• Satisfy the Cultural Enrichment Program requirement.
• Satisfy the Georgetown College General Education Curriculum Requirements as outlined under General Education Curriculum in the Catalog.
• Take at Georgetown College those courses specified from the list(s) below that correspond to the degree sought at the second school.(Note that some of the Georgetown College General Education Curriculum Requirements will be satisfied by courses on these lists. The courses on these lists are chosen to satisfy requirements at the second school.)
• Pass the comprehensive exam. The chemical engineering comprehensive is in math, chemistry, and physics. All other engineering comprehensives are in math and physics.
• Complete the chosen degree at the second institution.

Students matriculating to the University of Kentucky are automatically admitted to pre-engineering but will need to be admitted for engineering standing in an engineering department. The conditions for being admitted to an engineering department vary from department to department and are continually changing. The student should see an advisor involved with the engineering program for details.

Students planning to finish at the University of Kentucky must take the following courses at Georgetown College to complete the Engineering Arts major. Students must complete all courses listed in the first group and those courses listed in one of the subgroups below corresponding to the desired UK degree.

University of Kentucky College of Engineering (All)

• COMM 115 Speech (U.K. requires 3 hrs, but all engineering majors except EE, ME, and Materials Engineering have a 1 hr. component in required courses. Note: U.K. has a 1 hr. speech course.)
• CSC 115 Computer Science I and CSC 125 (Lab) 4 sem. hrs.
• MAT 125, 225, 325 Calculus I, II, and III 9 sem. hrs.
• MAT 345 Differential Equations 3 sem. hrs.
• PHY 111 and 112 General Physics I and II 8 sem. hrs.
• PHY 241 Engineering Physics 2 sem. hrs.
• CHE 111 and 112 General Chemistry I and II 7 sem. hrs.

University of Kentucky Agricultural Engineering

• PHY 313 Thermal Physics 3 sem. hrs.
• PHY 317 Statics 3 sem. hrs.

• Upper Level Math Elective 3 sem. hrs.

University of Kentucky Electrical Engineering

• CHE 113 Chemical Measurements Lab 1 sem. hr.
• PHY 313 Thermal Physics 3 sem. hrs.
• PHY 317 Statics 3 sem. hrs.
• PHY 318 Dynamics 3 sem. hrs.

University of Kentucky Mechanical Engineering

• CHE 113 Chemical Measurements Lab 1 sem. hr.
• PHY 313 Thermal Physics 3 sem. hrs.
• PHY 317 Statics 3 sem. hrs.
• PHY 318 Dynamics 3 sem. hrs.
• Upper Level Math Elective 3 sem. hrs.

Depending upon the particular engineering program chosen by the student at the University of Kentucky, there will sometimes be additional courses needed in order that the student can be accepted for Engineering Standing in the department chosen by the student. As of this writing that would include CME 200 in Chemical Engineering and EE 221, EE 222, and EE 280 in Electrical Engineering. There may also be certain engineering courses that are pre-requisites to more advanced engineering courses the student may wish to take. To assure a timely progression in the student’s chosen program, the student may wish to take some of these courses during the summer.

 

Nursing Arts (NUR)

Professor Mark Johnson, Program Coordinator

Special arrangements have been made by which an undergraduate student may attend Georgetown College for three years and the University of Kentucky for two years and receive degrees from both institutions attended, a Bachelor of Science Degree with a major in Nursing Arts from Georgetown College and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Kentucky. Students may be able to attend other schools of nursing, but no special arrangements have been made with other schools.

(*Students will attend Georgetown College four full-time semesters plus two part-time semesters and the University of Kentucky four full-time semesters and two part-time semesters. Students will be part-time in both institutions for two semesters.)

Initial Admission To The Program. To be accepted into the Dual Degree Program in Nursing all students, including transfer students, must meet admissions requirements of the University of Kentucky College of Nursing, namely: an ACT composite score at the 50th percentile on national norms and a high school grade point average of 2.5 or more. Students must also be approved by the Admissions Committee of Georgetown College.

Continuation in the Program. A student planning to pursue the dual degree program in Nursing Arts needs to contact the Georgetown College Program Coordinator by the beginning of the sophomore year.

Admission to the University of Kentucky. At the end of three full time semesters at Georgetown College, a student must have a grade point average of 3.0 or higher for work completed at Georgetown College. Students must have successfully completed CHE 111, 112 and CHE 113 before beginning their nursing courses at the University of Kentucky. In addition, enrollment in nursing classes requires completion of an approved certified nursing assistant program.

General Requirements. Students must have a minimum of 83 semester hours credited at Georgetown College. Students will be required to satisfy the Cultural Enrichment Program requirement by attending six events for each full-time semester at Georgetown College. See the discussion of this program elsewhere in the Catalog. Students must finish all requirements for the degree at the University of Kentucky to be eligible to receive a degree from Georgetown College. Courses required for the B.S. in Nursing Arts:
