3+2 Engineering Dual-Degree Program

How does 3+2 work?

Our dual-degree program in engineering provides students a comprehensive education and a unique opportunity to engage with two different campus communities, doubling the number of real-world connection opportunities. After attending classes for three years at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, students can then enroll in their choice of program at Marian University’s E. S. Witchger School of Engineering:

• Civil engineering
• Mechanical engineering
• Biomedical engineering
• Chemical engineering

After completing the program, students will earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from SMWC and a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from Marian University.

This program gives students access to a state-of-the-art engineering center, cutting-edge labs, high-tech classrooms and collaborative learning spaces. It also ensures a smooth transition between the two institutions, which both share a strong emphasis on liberal arts traditions.
