The Dual-Degree Program 3 (or 4) years at Gettysburg Gettysburg College liberal arts curriculum Major in some discipline at Gettysburg pre-engineering courses 2 years at engineering school You enter as a junior engineering major and take only engineering courses toward that major. Courses transfer both directions so you complete TWO degrees, one at each school. You receive both degrees at the end of the program.
The Schools University of Washington at St. Louis (St. Louis, MO) Columbia University (New York, NY) (no longer guaranteed admission) University of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh, PA) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, NY) All accept 4-2 as well as 3-2. WashU has 4-3 (and even 3-3) leading to second BS and MS. Columbia has 4-2 Masters without the second BS.
Pre-Engineering Courses 1. Mathematics 111, 112, 211 (212, 225) 2. Physics 111,112,211 (FY) or 109,110 (soph) 3. Chemistry 105 (counts as STS) or 107 4. Computer Science 107 (nonCS) or 111 (CS) 5. Econ 103 or 104 (only required for Columbia) 6. English Composition 7. Non-technical courses (see individual school requirements, Columbia requires 7)
Gettysburg College Major/Engineering Major Physics Mathematics Applied Mathematics Industrial engineering Chemistry Chemical Engineering Biology Biomedical Engineering Environmental Science Environmental Engineering Computer Science Computer Engineering Applied Physics Civil Engineering Electrical Engineering Engineering Mechanics Materials Science Mechanical Engineering Nuclear Engineering Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering
Your tasks: Take a math course every semester Take intro course toward GC major this semester Don t forget English Composition (or equivalent) GPA at least 3.0 overall AND 3.0 in STEM courses (this is NOT the same as your major GPA) Columbia is particularly competitive 3.3 GPA Research the types of engineering Look at course specifics by engineering discipline Meet with Prof. Johnson in late fall for Spring course planning and/or now if you have questions for Fall. rjohnson@gettysburg.edu, 717-337-6021, Masters 205 Web: Academics > Physics > Programs > Dual-Degree Engineering Program
