3-2 Programs

<p>Yes, sometimes the search function on CC seems not to work very well.</p>

<p>Nevertheless, regarding 3/2 Programs. As others have posted, the success rate in these programs can be relatively low because students abandon them, choosing to stay at their liberal arts college. Alternatively, some students take much longer than 10 semesters to finish. The benefit is, if the liberal arts college has a formal agreement with the engineering school, and the applicant satisfies the stipulations [coursework] of the agreement, admission to the engineering school is automatic. Keep in mind, financial aid or scholarships that one earned at the liberal arts college will not automatically follow the applicant to the engineering school.</p>

<p>There is another alternative: A Master of Engineering degree, which can be completed in one year [two semesters]. The time and efforts required for a masters can be reduced when your BA/BS is in Physics or Mathematics.</p>
