3-2 Engineering

3-2 Engineering Programs

 

When reviewing the joint or combined degree programs pay careful attention to the terminology and requirements to be a successful participant.  Terms are important as they signify important differentiations: articulation, combined plans, guaranteed or transfer programs. 

 

Regardless of the terms used be sure to clarify whether you will be automatically accepted to the second program based on specific criteria alone, such as a grade point for each required class, or you MUST apply and be accepted by the second institution once you have fulfilled the required courses to be eligible to apply to the second degree program institution.  In other words, it is not automatic.

 

Understand whether you must have an overall GPA in keeping with the institution you want to attend for engineering or not, so you have met the criteria for the engineering department but find you are not a match for the overall institution.

 

Be sure you know how many courses you will have to carry each semester in the engineering program and if any extra time to finish the courses is allotted.  The colleges offering engineering frequently do not allow more than two years to finish the program unless there very extenuating circumstances, of which not enough time is most likely not acceptable.

 

Also, financial aid is not a given between different institutions.  Foreign students should pay particular attention to financial issues as the engineering colleges' tuition can be significantly more than the first college's tuition.  There can also be significant fees associated with the engineering programs.  Off campus housing can be difficult to procure, expensive, and distance can be a problem.  Know before you start the process.

 

Check with your home college as to the end date of the joint program contract in case it is to be renegotiated during your process.  There is no guarantee at all that there will be any acceptance of those in the process of preparing to join the second college.  Sometimes the agreements have been terminated or additional requirements added so you will want to know that you need to pay attention to the matter when the contract is discussed.
