Other Programs
Double Majors
Students earn double majors by completing all of the major requirements in any two departments.
Individual Interdisciplinary Major
Students may propose an individual interdisciplinary major should that student discover a well-defined intellectual interest that crosses one or more of the boundaries of the established fields of concentration. An interdisciplinary major involves a detailed program of study with courses drawn from at least two departments, but only one senior thesis and/or comprehensive examination.
Liberal Arts-Engineering Dual Degree Plan
Students study liberal arts at Bates College for three years, and then enroll in a two-year engineering program at Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Case Western Reserve University, or Washington University in St. Louis for two years. Upon completion of this five-year program, students receive an undergraduate degree from Bates and a bachelor of science degree in engineering from the engineering-school affiliate.
