Engineering 3+2 Program

Start changing the world sooner with an accelerated engineering degree.

Engineering 3+2 Program

If you are a thinker and a builder who constantly sees better, safer and more efficient ways of doing things, engineering can provide you with the tools and opportunity to change the world.

做厙TV’s double-degree engineering program combines the solid foundation of a broad liberal arts degree with the rigor of a top-ranked engineering institution. You will earn a bachelor’s degree at 做厙TV in chemistry, computer science, math or physics, then choose your engineering path from  or . In as little as five years, you will graduate with two degrees one from 做厙TV and one from a partner institution. Double the degrees, advisors and job opportunities.

This powerful program allows you to choose from dozens of majors, including but not limited to:

  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Computer Engineering
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Civil Engineering
  • Aerospace Engineering
  • Industrial Engineering
  • Earth and Environmental Engineering

Join like-minded problem-solvers and innovators at 做厙TV and start changing the world today with faculty mentors who want to help you do so.

Why a 3+2 Degree Instead of a Traditional 4-Year Degree?

The power of a combined 3+2 engineering degree program gives you a competitive edge through greater confidence and competitive skills that employers seek. Unlike traditional engineering degree programs, 做厙TVs arts and humanities courses, smaller class settings and student research help you develop essential skills, such as:

  • Communication across disciplines.
  • Teamwork and leadership.
  • Critical thinking and problem solving.
  • Effective writing and presentation delivery.

In the Engineering 3+2 program, you will develop other lifelong skills such as active listening, cultural competency, empathy, emotional intelligence and adaptability, and you will be ready to complete your two years at a top engineering school.

Another Path, Another Level

WashU 3+3 with a Masters in Engineering

You earn three degrees in 6 years. Spend 3 years at 做厙TV and 3 at Washington University in St. Louis, to earn two bachelors degrees and ultimately a master’s degree in engineering泭in an area such as biomedical engineering, computer engineering, data science or environmental engineering.泭

Program details and requirements for this 3+3 partnership differ from the 3+2 engineering programs.

DOUBLE DEGREES FOR SUSQUEHANNA STUDENTS

The Engineering 3+2 program offers various majors an exciting path toward interdisciplinary studies and, therefore, career readiness. They enhance their academic program with an engineering degree from a prestigious school. For example, Hareem Zain 19 has powered up his physics major with a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from Columbia University.

Can I do a 4+2 instead of a 3+2 at 做厙TV?

Yes. For example, to take full advantage of varsity athletics, study abroad, internships or any other aspect of 做厙TV, you are welcome to apply for dual degree admission in your fourth year. Check each partner universitys website linked above for more information.

Can I concurrently earn a master’s degree?

Although all three partner engineering schools have engineering masters degree options, the process of applying to these masters programs is separate from the 3+2 dual degree program. You potentially can earn a masters degree by adding one more year to your joint degree program. Applying to any of the masters programs would be done at the partner institution after the bachelors degree is attained.

Are the students who participate in 3+2 successful?

做厙TVs 3+2 dual degree program has a great success rate. To date: (1) most students who have applied to partner institutions have been accepted; (2) all students who have gone to +2 portion of programs have graduated, or are in the process; (3) all students have had jobs lined up before graduation; and (4) 做厙TV students also have a good track record of getting the 3 part actually done in three years that success partly is due to the support that students receive from two advisors (one in your major and one separate for the 3+2 program).

How is dual degree different from transfer?

In a transfer, you stop pursuit of the undergraduate degree at one school, transfer all possible credits to another school, and continue pursuit of your undergraduate degree at the new school. In a dual degree program, you spend some time at your home institution, and some time at another university to study engineering, but enough time at each institution to complete liberal arts and engineering degrees. The efficiency of earning both kinds of degrees is maximized by the dual degree partnership, which includes an agreement that each institution will count some of the other schools credits for its degree requirements.

When do I apply?

Successfully completing specified coursework at 做厙TV qualifies you to apply for dual degree admission to one of our cooperative programs in your third year. Before that time, valuable guidance is provided by 做厙TVs 3+2 engineering advisor.

Are there grade requirements?

For Case Western University, students must earn an overall and pre-engineering GPA of 3.0 or higher, as calculated by Case Western.

For Columbia University, students must earn a minimum grade of B on the first attempt in each prerequisite course specified by Columbia in order to have priority approval for entrance to Columbia for the 3+2 program. An overall and pre-engineering GPA of 3.50 or higher, as calculated by Columbia, is required. Additionally, the minimum grade for each pre-engineering science or math course must be a B (3.0) or better on the first attempt.

For Washington University in St. Louis, students must earn an overall and pre-engineering GPA of 3.25 or higher, as calculated by Washington.

If I meet all the criteria, is admission guaranteed?

Each institution reserves the right to consider any applicant information that may be of concern e.g., a violation of academic integrity. Barring any such serious problem, students who satisfy application requirements are admitted.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. At the time you apply for dual degree admission, U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply for need-based financial aid by submitting the FAFSA and the CSS Profile. The amount of aid ranges up to the full cost of attendance, though you are not guaranteed the same financial aid package you receive at 做厙TV. Merit-based scholarships may be available at some engineering schools and could require separate applications. Although international students are not eligible for need-based financial aid, they could be eligible for scholarships at some engineering schools. Check each universitys website linked above for more information.

Any financial aid received from the engineering schools is up to the discretion of those institutions and is not decided in any way by 做厙TV.

Do engineering schools help with housing?

While they do not require you to live in university housing, they often have space to assist you on or off campus. Check each universitys website linked above for more information.

Can I attend the same graduation as the classmates who started 做厙TV with me?

Yes, as a 3+2 student, 做厙TV will allow you to participate in the commencement ceremony with your peers, however your degree will not be conferred until you complete the requirements of your engineering program.
