Engineering, Combined Program
Arcadia University offers a combined five-year (3+2) Engineering Program in affiliation with the University of Pittsburgh and Washington University in Saint Louis. Students are also encouraged to apply to Dartmouth College and Columbia University; although you will not receive guaranteed admission, you are still eligible to apply.
- Three or four years at Arcadia University
- Two years at one of our engineering affiliates
- Opportunities to study abroad at some of the top universities around the world
Once you have completed all degree requirements and have earned a sufficient number of credits, you are eligible to receive a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree from Arcadia University at the commencement ceremony. After successful completion of the program you will receive their Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering or Applied Science from the college of engineering of the university.
Prepare for Your Career
These programs blend a strong foundation in the liberal arts and sciences with an intensive engineering curriculum. As a student in the combined program, you will be prepared for a career in industry, or for graduate work in engineering, mathematics, or the physical sciences. At the conclusion of the program, you may take the licensure examination for professional engineers.
Under the combined plan, you may elect to pursue any one of the following programs:
