3year + 2year dual degrees in engineering

Columbia U offers a 3-2 program. BA from Columbia College, BS from Columbia U, SEAS.

On the West Coast Pomona College has a 3-2 program in conjunction with Cal Tech or Washington U St Louis. I think a lot of the Liberal Arts Schools offer these programs. Just keep searching.

Oglethorpe University in Atlanta does the 3-2 program in conjunction with Ga. Tech. There are a few players on my son's team that are participating in this program.

On the West Coast, Claremont McKenna has a 3+2 program (not sure Pomona has one, as posted above). cal poly slo also has several dual degree programs.

But, combining this with baseball Others on this site say it can be done. We met with the admissions officers of 3 schools who told my son no way, no how (or at least until they invent a clock with more than 24 hrs. in the day).

HeyBatter,

Pomona College does have a 3-2 program. My son has applied for it. It's kind of hard to find info on it, but if you ask around and hunt around the web-site you'll find it. It is also listed on their list of majors on their application.

Momx4- thanks for the info, but I can't find it do they call it something in particular-I looked at the list of majors. thanks.

HB--do a Google search with something like 3/2 Cal Tech Pomona and you'll get some links.

There are a few in NC that have a 2+2 option, with NC State although I would think 3+ 2 or 2+3 would be more realistic.

here's the UNCA link UNCA/ENG

I know Hendrix runs their program with Washington University in St. Louis. For those of you who aren't from the South, you can't go wrong with that conbination.

thanks for the help. Found Pomona has a 3+2 in conjunction with Cal tEch or u of Washington in St. Louis. Plus you can take engineering classes at Harvey Mudd if you're a student at any of the other Claremont colleges.

Lots of liberal arts colleges offer the 3-2 option with USC, Washinton University at St. Louis and Columbia as the university where the degree is completed. These include Lewis and Clark College, Pepperdine, University of Puget Sound, and so on. Pomona College does offer it with Cal Tech, and Claremont McKenna has an engineering management degree with Stanford.

The problem is completing science labs and other afternoon classes, which conflict with baseball practice.

My son is currently enrolled in a 3/2 engineering program. He has already transferred to finish his engineering degree after finishing three years at a liberal arts college. He is redshirting this year and will complete his baseball career next year. I will offer some cautions when exploring this route for your sons educations. Have a long discussion with the 3/2 program director at the liberal arts school to determine if he/she really understands the requirements of the engineering curriculum that your son will transfer to. You'll find that many have no idea what will be required by the next school.Also thoroughly investigate the engineering schools that the LA school lists as having an association with. These arrangements seem to change from year to year. Your sons LA classes will obviously be heavily slanted towards math and science, but I think you will find that he will be taking some courses in these areas just to fill up the three years. Also prepare monetarily for more than 5 years because it is virtually impossible to finish the engineering requirements in 2 years due to scheduling problems. I have been a professional engineer for 30 years, thought that I understood some of theses issues, but was still shocked at the lack of coordination between the two institutions that supposedly had an arrangement.
All that being said, I am still a proponent of the LA educational experience as I feel my son has developed well due to the small class experience coupled with the requirements of spoken and written presentation. He will never just be a number cruncher during his future engineering career. Many here have stated that baseball and engineering are an impossible combination. I haven't found that to be true. Difficult but not impossible. Son has been 3 time academic all conference and two time all conference selection - the most valuable pitcher on his team and recently nominated for Chi Epsilon honor fraternity. I think the discipline required for baseball and engineering compliment each other. Needless to say we are very proud of him. Sorry to be so long but I wanted to check in on this thread.
