| To offer the advantages of a combined liberal arts and engineering
program, Willamette University has arrangements with Columbia
University (New York, New York), the University of Southern
California (Los Angeles, California) and Washington University
(St. Louis, Missouri), whereby a student may receive both a
Bachelor of Arts from Willamette and a Bachelor of Science from
the participating engineering school. A six-year combined program
results in a Bachelor of Arts degree from Willamette and a Master's
degree in engineering from Columbia.
After three years in residence at Willamette, during which
time the student satisfies most requirements for a Bachelor
of Arts degree and takes prescribed courses in chemistry,
physics, and mathematics, he or she may qualify for transfer
to Columbia University, University of Southern California
or Washington University. At any of these engineering schools,
the student spends two years in any one of the several curricula
in engineering; at the end of five years, he or she will receive
the Bachelor of Science in engineering from Columbia, Southern
California or Washington University and the Bachelor of Arts
degree from Willamette University.
Another arrangement is possible with the engineering school
of Columbia University on a four-two basis. Under this plan
a student completes the bachelor's degree with a major in
chemistry, physics, or mathematics at Willamette University
before taking the two years of engineering work.
The student then receives either a B.S. in Engineering or
the Master of Science degree from Columbia University. These
plans are available only in certain fields of engineering.
Basic Requirements for Admission to Engineering School
Each school has slightly different requirements for admission.
Each engineering major may have different course requirements.
The requirements listed below are a good starting point and
futher details may be found on the Web page of each engineering
school. The links below will take you to each school's Web
page.
Students must complete the math science courses listed below,
make significant progress towards completing their Willamette
University major, and complete their general education program.
There is no required major for the 3-2 Combined degree program;
however, if your Willamette major is not finished before going
to an engineering school, courses will have to be transferred
back to complete the major. These transferred courses must
be acceptable to the Willamette major department.
Math and Science Courses Required by Engineering Schools*
Math: Calculus through Differential Equations, MATH 256
Physics: Introductory Physics I and II, PHYS 215 and PHYS
236
Chemistry: Introductory Chemistry I and II, CHEM 115 and CHEM
116
Computer Science: Programming Language course, CS 231
*Different engineering majors may require slightly different
basic math and science courses for entrance. Please check
the current requirements for your intended major at your intended
school for a specific list.
Note: Columbia University requires a course in Economics.
Washington University requires at least 6 semester hours of
social science courses and 6 semseter hours of humanities
courses. In addition, 2 of these courses must be from the
same department with one course at the upper level [300-400].
(One Willamette credit is equivalent to 4 semester hours.)
