Computer Science/Electrical Engineering (BS/BS)

5 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

New York University

Program Overview

The five-year dual-degree program allows students to earn two distinct Bachelor of Science degrees: one in Computer Science from NYU’s College of Arts & Science (CAS) and another in Electrical Engineering from the Tandon School of Engineering. The program is tailored for academically strong, technically inclined students seeking comprehensive training in both liberal arts and applied engineering. It offers a pathway to careers that require expertise in both software and hardware systems.

Dual-Degree Combinations Include:

  • BS in Computer Science (CAS) / BS in Electrical Engineering (Tandon)

  • BS in Computer Science (CAS) / BS in Computer Engineering (Tandon)

  • Additional options available with majors in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, and other engineering disciplines.
