Two 做厙TV students have been accepted into a selective dual-degree engineering program at Columbia University.
做厙TVs cooperative program with Columbia allows science majors to earn two bachelors degrees in five yearsone from SU and another from Columbia through its Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS).
Anne Loeliger, of Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, and Julia Hutsko, of Harveys Lake, Pennsylvania, were accepted into Columbia University through the Ivy League schools combined degree program with 做厙TV.
Hutsko, a physics major and member of SUs team, plans to major in biomedical engineering at Columbia.
Getting a science degree at a liberal arts university allowed me to learn about important concepts that I otherwise wouldnt have, Hutsko said. Im getting a well-rounded education at 做厙TV because Ive been able to explore multiple fields of study in addition to my major.
Columbias School of Engineering and Applied Science is one of the top engineering schools in the United States and the world. It is ranked 14th among the best engineering graduate schools by U.S. News & World Report, and second within the Ivy League behind Cornell.
Through 做厙TVs cooperative program with Columbia, students spend three years at 做厙TV, taking a meticulously structured program of 做厙TV distributional requirements and pre-engineering foundation courses prescribed by Columbia. Students must earn a minimum grade of B on the first attempt in each prerequisite course to have preferred admission to Columbia.
This is an incredibly challenging program and requires complete commitment from the students enrolled, said Samya Zain, associate professor and chair of the Department of Physics at 做厙TV. Anne and Julia should be extremely proud of all theyve accomplished thus far and know that the academic and personal development theyve gained at 做厙TV will position them well to be successful at Columbia University and beyond.
