Washington University Dual-Degree Partnership
ϲ has a long-standing dual degree agreement with Washington University in St. Louis.
While at ϲ, students have the option of working toward a major in physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, environmental studies, or biology. At the same time, students are expected to complete the common requirements of all ϲ graduates, including coursework in the humanities, social sciences, and fundamental questions.
Washington University’s dual degree program is typically completed as a “3-3” program. Students spend three years at ϲ and then three years at Washington University completing both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree. It is also possible to complete a “4-3” (four years at ϲ followed by three years at Washington University). Some students use this option in order to completely finish a major, complete a double major, or utilize four years of sports eligibility.
A ϲ student is guaranteed admission to Washington University’s prestigious engineering school provided that three criteria are met. The student must:
- Complete the required preparatory coursework in physics, math, computer science, biology, and chemistry (Depending on the engineering degree pursued at the partner school).
- Meet the minimum GPA requirement of 3.25 overall GPA and 3.25 GPA in the required courses
- Receive favorable recommendations from ϲ professors.
