Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Dual Engineering Concentration
Upon completion of the 2nd year at Lander, students will have completed 78 credit hours of coursework. However, students will have only completed 28 of the 37 hours of General Education requirements. In addition to transferring back the needed general education credits, students will also have to complete and transfer back: CHE 2110, CHE 2300, CHE 2200, CHE 3390, CHE 3320, CHE 3400, CHE 4430, CHE 4440. Furthermore, students must complete the Clemson degree requirements for a BS in chemical engineering to obtain the BS degree in chemistry from Lander. This option is available ONLY to students who pursue a degree in CHEMICAL Engineering at Clemson.
Coursework must include at least 30 hours earned in 300 or above level courses, of which 12 hours must be in the major.

Chemistry/Engineering Dual Degree
Students who wish to combine study in chemistry with further study in chemical engineering may do so under the Clemson University-Lander University Engineering Dual Degree Program. Under this cooperative agreement, students will spend the first two years of their college career at Lander University in a chemistry program of study and the remaining three years at Clemson University in chemical engineering. Summer courses may be required.
A student who completes this five-year program of study will have had the experience of dividing his or her academic career between the liberal arts environment of a small university campus and the engineering climate of a large technically oriented university. This unique combination of study on two differently oriented campuses will provide a student with excellent engineering and chemistry training, complemented by study in the humanities and social sciences. Thus, a graduate from this dual degree program will be well trained to pursue a technical career strongly oriented to problems relevant to today’s society.
Students apply to Clemson for admission in their second academic year at Lander. They must be recommended by the Lander faculty. Those students who do not maintain a GPA that would be competitive for entrance to Clemson may not be recommended. A grade of “C” or better is required in all courses transferred to Clemson.
Acceptance into the Clemson engineering program is at the discretion of Clemson University. Clemson recommends that the prospective student attend summer school at Clemson following the sophomore year at Lander.
All dual degree engineering majors will be able to enter Clemson University at a level competitive with students already at that university.
The student will have competency in the following areas prior to leaving for Clemson University:
1. Chemistry: Fundamental principles of analytical and organic chemistry.
2. Mathematics: Differential, integral, and multivariable calculus, and differential equations.
3. Physics: Mechanics, heat, electricity, atomic and nuclear physics, and magnetism.
4. Engineering: Engineering problem analysis, material and mass balances on chemical process systems, and engineering case studies.
5. Calculator: Proficiency in the use of an advanced scientific calculator.
