Engineering is a field of dramatically increasing opportunity for women.
The arrangements with Cornell University in Ithaca, Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York, and Columbia University in New York City lead to the Bachelor of Arts from Wells College, as well as the Bachelor of Science in engineering from these universities. After three years at Wells, a student transfers to the coordinate institution. There, in the fourth year, the Wells B.A. requirements are completed as part of their standard engineering curriculum. At the end of the fifth year, the bachelor of science in engineering from the university will be awarded. Exceptionally talented students may earn the master's degree in engineering at Columbia University by completing additional courses during summer sessions.
