 Return to: Program Information
This program is designed for those students who wish to combine elements of a
fundamental engineering program with those of a broad liberal arts program. In
addition to meeting the degree requirements for the B.A., students are required
to earn a cumulative average of C or better in engineering courses. Students pursuing
this degree must choose either the Biomedical Engineering Option or the Production
and Manufacturing Option.

Biomedical Engineering Option
One option of this degree has been created for those students whose career goals
are directed toward medicine, but with a strong analytical element provided by
engineering course work. Bioengineering courses apply engineering methods to biomedicine,
and ensure that successful candidates for this degree option have both the broad
liberal arts background the B.A. degree offers, and the specialized skills that
the prospective scientists and practitioners in the medical field need. Reflecting
the fact that not all full-time students can and do adhere to a four year time
frame for degree completion, the suggested sequence below shows a possible alignment
of courses within that compass. Professor Rabbany, Adviser. Production and Manufacturing Option
A special option of this degree has been created for those students whose career
goals are directed toward business administration, especially in manufacturing
or production. A career path in this situation requires someone with technical
ability and eventually an M.B.A. degree. By combining the B.A. Specialization
in Engineering Science with the following business and liberal arts courses, the
student will meet Hofstra’s B.A. degree requirements and be knowledgeable about
technical matters the student will ultimately be responsible for in a manufacturing
environment. Reflecting the fact that not all fulltime students can and do adhere
to a four year time frame for degree completion, the suggested sequence below
shows a possible alignment of courses within that compass. Recommended Sequence - Total Hours: 127
