Addressing critical 21st century issues with world-class faculty, outstanding facilities and contemporary academic programs.
SEAS students can choose to double major, minor in math, or combine their degree with a number of other university programs.
Please note: Students admitted to SEAS as a first-year (freshman) are eligible to request a double major within SEAS after they have completed their first year (or two semesters), given that they meet program-specific GPA criteria.
A double major is the awarding of one degree with two majors (e.g., the student completing a double major in mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering earns one BS degree). Students must be accepted into each major and fulfill all requirements of each major in addition to satisfying all university requirements. This may be completed within the usual 120-credit minimum. Following conferral of the degree, the student’s transcript will note one baccalaureate degree and two majors.
Mechanical Engineering/Aerospace Engineering Double Major
Follow all requirements for aerospace engineering major and add:
First-year students interested in a mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering double major are encouraged to begin as an aerospace engineering major, and request the addition of the mechanical engineering major after the first year (or two semesters).
Follow basic math requirements for any SEAS major and add MTH 309 and two additional upper level math courses.
Admission Criteria: Minimum GPA of 2.500 in the prerequisite courses (or approved transfer equivalent) is required to gain entry to the mathematics minor. Current UB students seeking admission to the Mathematics minor should complete the Major/Minor Change Request Form.
Other typical combinations include chemistry (minor or major), physics (minor or major), or the biotechnology minor through the biology department (for chemical engineering majors).
