"3-2 Program" or "Combined Plan"
for the Study of Engineering
Wesleyan maintains a "3-2 Program" with Columbia
and
the California
Institute of Technology for students wishing to combine the study
of engineering with a liberal arts background.
A student participating in this program spends three years at Wesleyan
followed by two at the engineering school. After completing all degree
requirements from both schools he or she receives two degrees, a BA from
Wesleyan and a B.Sc. from Caltech or Columbia. During the three
years at Wesleyan a prospective 3-2 student enters a normal major program
and completes the minimal requirements for the major, and in addition
fulfills the science and mathematics requirements for the first two
years of the engineering school he or she plans to enter.
During the final two years at the engineering school the student follows
its regular third and fourth year program in whatever field of engineering
is selected, and in addition may need to take other specific courses to
satisfy its degree requirements. (This is more likely to be the case at
Columbia, which has a "core curriculum" required of all students.)
