UWG Engineering Studies Program
Engineering - to be admitted to the RETP program, a student must be a resident of Georgia, have a high school GPA of 3.0 or higher, and sufficiently high SAT scores.
Engineering is the discipline of acquiring and applying scientific and technical knowledge to the design, analysis, and/or construction of works for practical purposes.
The "2+2" Regent's Engineering Transfer Program allows students to spend two years at West Georgia in a specially designed engineering track before transferring to the Georgia Institute of Technology.
The "3+2", or dual degree, program allows a student in approximately 5 academic years to obtain both a Bachelor of Science Degree with a Major in Physics, Chemistry, or Geo-technology from West Georgia and an engineering degree from an approved engineering school.
Possible Careers
Chemical Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Research Scientist, Technical Writer, Structural Engineer, Stress Analyst, College Professor, Industrial Engineer, Military Officer, Consultant
