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.

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:
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.
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: REQUIREMENT DESCRIPTIONS CREDIT HOURS PREREQUISITES I.

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.*
