Dual Degrees with UND Engineering
Marymount University has an agreement with the University of North Dakota for students to earn both a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of North Dakota and a degree in Liberal Studies or Mathematics from Marymount University. Students fulfill all requirements for both degrees while maintaining full-time status at Marymount University and enrolling in online courses at the University of North Dakota. Tuition each semester is due to Marymount University. This tuition covers Marymount courses as well as University of North Dakota courses. University of North Dakota courses are delivered online during the academic year. Students are required to complete three laboratory courses during two summers at the University of North Dakota. Interested students should work with their academic advisor at the beginning of their academic career to understand the full requirements of both programs. The advisor will guide the student through the application process and subsequent registrations. Application to the University of North Dakota occurs early during the fall semester of the first year.
The course plan for both degrees is designed to be completed in five years. Students making satisfactory progress towards both degrees and who have been awarded Marymount University financial aid for their first four years will be eligible for Marymount University financial aid during the fifth year. Tuition for the summer laboratory courses will be paid to Marymount University, but travel and lodging are the responsibility of the student.
Marymount University and UND are accredited through different commissions. For information about the University of North Dakota’s accreditation please refer to their website. Marymount University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award doctoral, master’s, and bachelor’s degrees. The University of North Dakota is not accredited by SACS Commission on Colleges and the accreditation of Marymount University does not extend to or include the University of North Dakota or its students. Further, although Marymount University agrees to accept certain course work from the University of North Dakota to be applied toward an award from Marymount University, that course work may not be accepted by other colleges or universities in transfer, even if it appears on a transcript from Marymount University. The decision to accept course work in transfer from any institution is made by the institution considering the acceptance of credits or course work.

Sample Degree Plan — Marymount University Liberal Studies (B.A.) or Mathematics (B.S.) and UND Mechanical Engineering (B.S.)
Please note that this is a sample plan and requires 5 years; all students must consult with an advisor in making course selections. Some courses are offered only every other year, and this plan assumes beginning in the fall of an odd year, but the program can be completed beginning any year. This sample plan is based on a liberal studies degree with concentrations in mathematics and mechanical engineering. Courses marked with + are completed online through UND. Courses marked with ++ are completed in person at UND. Courses marked with a # fulfill a requirement for the UND degree in Mechanical Engineering.
