Students in this double degree program attend Kentucky State University for three years of study in the pre- engineering area of their choice, and then transfers to an engineering granting university such as the University of Kentucky. Upon successful completion of the KSU Math/Applied: Pre-Engineering degree requirements, students are awarded the Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics by Kentucky State University. Students are awarded the Bachelor of Science degree in their selected field of engineering by the engineering degree granting university after completing that institution's degree requirement.

Students interested in engineering should note that, due to possible changes in the engineering Accreditation standards and possible curriculum changes at the University of Kentucky, some courses in the curriculum may change periodically. It is essential that students interested in engineering maintain close contact with the Pre-engineering advisors in the Division of Mathematics and Sciences.
A minor in Mathematics requires the completion of 19 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include MAT 131, 132, 231; and the remaining 6 semester credit hours must be selected from upper-division mathematics courses approved by the mathematics faculty.
A minor in Physics requires the completion of at least 19 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include: PHY 211 and PHY 212. With approval of mathematics/physics area faculty, students may choose any 300-level physics or closely related discipline courses to complete the minor.
