Dual Degree Students must satisfy the Liberal Arts Physics Major / Dual Degree Emphasis requirements as listed below from the UW-Eau Claire Course Catalog as well as the University and College of Arts & Sciences requirements.

Dual Degree Emphasis (Code 230-204)
This emphasis combines the benefits of a traditional physics degree with those of a formal engineering education. In this program students receive a UW- Eau Claire physics degree in conjunction with a bachelors degree in engineering from either the UW-Madison College of Engineering or the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology. In addition to the requirements above, this emphasis requires Phys 340, Phys 365 or both Math 255 and Math 256*, CS 163 (or CS 310 UW-Madison), and Chem 103 or Chem 115. Students must enroll in Phys 485 during the fall semester of their junior year. To receive the UW-Eau Claire Dual Degree Emphasis physics degree the student must complete an engineering degree from one of the above schools. Students will typically complete most of the UW-Eau Claire General Education and Dual Degree physics requirements while at UW-Eau Claire before transferring to the engineering school. Students must complete 84 semester credits before transferring to the engineering school, 56 of which must be taken in residency at UW-Eau Claire, a minimum of 12 credits of upper division physics courses taken at UW-Eau Claire, and a minimum of 6 credits of mathematics courses taken at UW-Eau Claire.

Note: Math 255 and Math 256 together count for 4 semester credits of physics course work.
