Overview

Each Engineering - Double Degree has specific prerequisite courses required for admission to that program, and are easiest to complete when paired with particular Sacred Heart University degrees.

Key facts

Some tracks may require an overload or summer coursework to fully complete within 3 years. Prospective engineering students will receive a dedicated advisor to help them navigate the 3+2 program options and ensure compliance with program requirements, including application of any relevant AP/transfer credits.
After 5 years, you will graduate with 2 bachelors degrees, one from SHU and one from RPI or Columbia. Depending on your exact choice of majors at SHU & at Columbia/RPI, and any AP/transfer credits you enter with, a semester with an overload or some summer coursework may be required.
