Program IT has cooperative, dual degree programs with a number of public and private colleges. The programs support students who want to combine a strong liberal arts background with study in engineering and who are willing to spend another year or two achieving this goal. The IT Honors Program provides special educational opportunities for students who have the ability and motivation to undertake an extra challenge through honors courses, special seminars, and part-time research work with a faculty mentor. If you have a broad range of related interests, you can plan an interdisciplinary program tailored to your specific needs. Students can combine coursework from several departments, although the degree program itself is approved by a single IT department.
Many interdisciplinary programs are possible.
A few examples include acoustics, bioengineering, environmental engineering, nuclear engineering, and transportation. Your IT advisor will help you design a program to suit your interests. You can earn a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering and a master of science degree in either mechanical or industrial engineering in five years. This integrated degree program provides several benefits to students, including a streamlined admissions process from the undergraduate to the graduate program and graduate-student status granted in year four. Because there is no prescribed premedical major at the University, some students plan an IT degree program to prepare for medical school .
