These joint degree programs combine humanities with scientific/engineering studies. Groups of subjects from the humanistic and technical areas are conjoined to yield a basic command of each mode of inquiry. One part is a selection from the undergraduate degree curriculum of a science or engineering approved by a faculty member in the field. The other part consists of subjects in a humanities field, chosen by the student in consultation with and advisor from appropriate humanities faculty. In most cases, senior thesis or sequence of advanced seminars is also required.
