3-2 engineering programs - a list of them, and how well do they work?

<p>Does anyone know if there is a list that gives LAC and the partner Engineering school, and ideally, the rules (to what extent is admission guaranteed to the ENG school?) and how well this program works (number who opt in, number who finish it thru)?</p>

<p>I have found occasional pronouncements on CC that this program does not work (very well). And I found this
3-2</a> Engineering Programs at Liberal Arts Colleges - The College Solution (usnews.com)</p>

<p>But both sides are unsupported and w/o backup. The latter USNR article only prints the opinions of the coordinators of a couple Uni's - whose jobs depend on this program.</p>

<p>I know W&M has one with Columbia and RPI, but I don’t think it is used very often, nor do I know how effective it is. However, it does mention the rules: meet pre-reqs and have a B average.</p>

<p>Knew 3 classmates who did the 3-2 engineering program at Oberlin. I believe one went to Washington U in St. Louis, one to Case Western, and one to Columbia Engineering. They also have a partnership with Caltech…but don’t know anyone who ended up there for engineering.</p>

<p>Also, my Civil Engineering Uncle did a 3-2 program at Beloit and spent his last two years at Columbia engineering…though that was way back in the late 1950’s.</p>

<p>Willamette and Whitworth have 3+2 programs, both with USC, Columbia, and WUSTL I believe, among others.</p>

<p>thanks. any info is good info. Ideally, wondered if there was a list or at least another thread that broached this already, even if composed of anecdotal schools.</p>
