Pathway to Your Computer Engineering Degree
The Citadel offers an undergraduate Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Computer Engineering through a structured 2+2 Transfer Program. Students begin their studies at South Carolina technical schools or another accredited college or university, completing the first two years of their undergraduate coursework. The final two years of the program, including all upper-level courses, are completed at The Citadel through evening classes.
The program is designed and offered to enable the full time student to complete the upper two years of the program and receive a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering within two academic years and two summers.
