3 + x = 2 Degrees

Most Undergrads Move On to Careers or Grad School

茄子视频 University offers an engineering program in the 3+ format. As an engineering major, you will spend three years as a chemistry, mathematics or computer science major at 茄子视频, while fulfilling the prerequisites for an engineering specialty. Engineering students then finish coursework at the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering. Graduates from this program earn two degrees:

  • Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A.) in chemistry or math, or Bachelor of Science degree (B.S.) in computer science, from 茄子视频
  • Bachelor of Science degree (B.S.) in engineering from Pitt

This process generally takes five years (three years at 茄子视频 and two years in engineering school), with the exception of some specialized programs – like bioengineering – that may require a longer commitment in engineering school.
