This program is designed for students at select liberal arts colleges who decide to enter the field of engineering. Two years of carefully planned study at Rensselaer complete the requirements for the bachelor's program of the liberal arts college and the BS degree with a major in engineering at Rensselaer. Students receive degrees from both Rensselaer and the liberal arts college.
Interested students apply for the program during the fall or spring of their junior year.
Applications are available from Rensselaer's Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Students must send an official college transcript and a letter of recommendation from their university's pre-engineering committee. Most students accepted for this program have achieved at least a B average, with grades of A or B in calculus, calculus-based physics, and chemistry courses. These agreements will allow you to complete liberal arts and MBA degrees in five years.
