A student can earn two bachelors degrees in this dual degree program. One is a BS from Rhodes and the other is a BS in engineering from Christian Brothers University. The student spends 3 years at Rhodes and then 2 years at Christian Brothers University. Both degrees are awarded at the end of the 5 years of study.
GPA requirement: A student must have a 2.50 major and cumulative gpa at Rhodes at the time of application to Christian Brothers University, which is January of the 3rd year at Rhodes. Only grades above C- will transfer to Christian Brothers University.
Additional requirements: One of the F1 Rhodes Foundations course must be a philosophy course. A minimum of 80 credits of the Rhodes BS portion must be fulfilled with Rhodes courses.
