WashU Engineering Dual Degree Program
Students who attend designated liberal arts institutions gain financially supported access to engineering degrees at Washington University.
How the program works for students
· Years 1-3 at the liberal arts college (LAC): Take required pre-engineering courses and earn a 3.25 GPA.
· Year 3, with the endorsement of the LAC pre-engineering advisor: Apply for Dual Degree admission.
· Years 4-5 at WashU: Complete bachelor’s degrees from both the LAC and McKelvey Engineering (3+2).
· Year 6 at WashU: About 75% of participants also earn a McKelvey Engineering master’s degree (3+3).
Why students appreciate the program
· All qualified Dual Degree applicants are admitted and receive offers for both 3+2 and 3+3 options.
· Dual Degree admission is not influenced by factors like choice of major, financial need, or nationality.
· Dual Degree students are not expected to pay full WashU tuition; all are eligible for financial support.
· Dual Degree is both a longstanding, respected program and a hardworking, close-knit community.
At Washington University, as strongly as we believe that engineers improve the world, we believe that liberal arts study enhances engineering education. Dual Degree students learn to approach problem-solving and innovating from diverse perspectives in different environments. Dual Degree graduates enter their careers equipped with critical and scientific thinking skills, collaborative communication experience, technical expertise, and adaptability.
To develop these valuable competencies and distinctive credentials, we invite open-minded STEM students to leverage the combined resources of a liberal arts college and McKelvey Engineering. This downloadable brochure and our website contain further information, and we welcome questions at eng-DualDegree@wustl.edu.
