Dual Degree Engineering Program between top ranked universities and liberal arts colleges

  • Washington University at St. Louis (MO)

The McKelvey School of Engineering offers a dual degree program with numerous affiliated liberal arts colleges and universities. Qualified students earn both a non-engineering baccalaureate from the first school and a Washington University bachelor's degree in engineering by attending the affiliated institution for three or four years, then completing the program with two years of concentrated engineering study at Washington University.

  • Columbia University (NY)

The schools listed here have an affiliation agreement with the Combined Plan program and are prioritized in the admission process. If you’re interested in the Combined Plan program, you should contact your liaison as early as possible to plan your course of study and prepare for admission.

Please refer to the affiliate college's website and admissions office for more information about the institution, their undergraduate experience and their admissions requirements for first-year students prior to applying to the Combined Plan program.

  • Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (NY)

The Affiliated College Program combines the resources of Renssselaer and a select group of affiliated liberal arts colleges and universities. This program is designed especially for students who decide during their college careers to enter the field of engineering. Students transfer to Rensselaer after completing three years of liberal arts study, including extensive and advanced course work in mathematics and science. After two or three years of concentrated study in engineering and applied science at Rensselaer, these students receive degrees from both the liberal arts college and Rensselaer.

Interested students apply for the program during the fall of their junior year on the recommendation of the liberal arts college’s pre-engineering committee. Applicants may submit either the Common Application or the Universal College Application for transfers. An official college transcript is required in addition to a letter of recommendation from the liberal arts college’s pre-engineering committee. Most students accepted for the Affiliated College Program have achieved at least a B average with grades of A or B in calculus, calculus-based physics, and chemistry courses.

A 3-2 program is offered in which a student completes three years (through the junior year) at the liberal arts college, then transfers to Rensselaer’s School of Engineering. Two years of carefully planned study complete the requirements for the bachelor’s program of the liberal arts college and the B.S. degree with a major in engineering at Rensselaer.
