Dual Bachelor's Degrees: Arts, Sciences, and Engineering Path, Lecture notes of Engineering

The 3-2 engineering program is a collaborative effort between westminster college and the university of southern california (usc) or washington university, allowing students to earn two bachelor's degrees: one in a major from westminster and another in an engineering discipline from usc or washington university. Students benefit from westminster's small class sizes, teaching excellence, and hands-on learning. To be eligible, students must meet entrance requirements, maintain a minimum gpa, and complete specific coursework and prerequisites.

ENGINEERING 3-2
Faculty:Jonas D'Andrea
Objectives
Westminster offers a 3-2 Engineering Program in conjunction with the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles, California (USC), and Washington
University in St. Louis, Missouri. Students who successfully complete the requirements for this program will earn two degrees:
A Bachelor of Science or Arts with a major either in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Physics, and Mathematics. (Students may pursue other majors,
but it may take them longer than 5 years to complete the two degrees.)
A Bachelor of Science in an engineering discipline from either Washington University or USC.
The 3–2 program is perfect students who want to enhance and broaden their undergraduate education as a prelude to the focused work of engineering
school. In all their pre-engineering classes, students receive the benefits of Westminster's small class sizes and tradition of teaching excellence. Westminster's
math and science programs offer "learning communities" that couple courses like math and biology and utilize group-based, hands-on learning. Moreover,
students often develop close nurturing relationships with faculty and their peers at Westminster that might not happen at a larger school.
Under the 3–2 program, a student attends Westminster College for approximately three years and then transfers to either the University of Southern California
(USC) or Washington University for an additional two years of study in the selected engineering discipline.
(1) As Westminster freshman, students must meet entrance requirements for USC or Washington University.
(2) The 3–2 program advisor at Westminster College must recommend them. (To be considered for this recommendation a students must satisfy all the
program requirements listed below, maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.00, and maintain a 3.00 average in the major courses.)
(3) Students must complete at least four semesters of full-time study at Westminster before transferring to the engineering school.
(4) Students must have completed 12 upper division credits in their major prior to transfer. Students who complete the 3–2 program by transferring to either
USC or Washington University automatically have the Westminster residency requirement waived. (Westminster requires that the last 36 hours of course
work be completed at Westminster.)
(5) Students must file a Leave of Absence Request with the Registrar’s Office.
Fields of Engineering Offered by the University of Southern California and Washington University:
Astronautics/Space Technology Chemical
Biomedical Civil
Chemical/Materials Science Computer Science
Civil/Environmental Computer Engineering
Computer Science Electrical
Electrical Mechanical
Industrial and Systems Engineering System Science & Engineering
After successful completion of both portions of the program the student is awarded degrees from both institutions.
Program Requirements at Westminster College
Students in this program are encouraged to meet with the program director at Westminster College during their freshman year to ensure satisfaction of
all the requirements for their chosen field of engineering during their time at Westminster College and to learn about the coursework that will be required
during their two years at the university.Students must complete all their WCorerequirements and the following set of engineering core courses:

Sample Student Timetable

In order for the student to complete the dual degree program in five years, it is important to follow closely the timetable set up by the advisor. The following is a sample timetable for a student majoring in Physics at Westminster and desiring a dual degree in Electrical Engineering. A particular student's course schedule will depend upon their prior coursework, their major at Westminster, the desired engineering discipline, and the specific requirements of the engineering school.*
