<p>The Major in Physics and Engineering (Three-Two Program):</p>
<p>Qualified students may obtain both a Connecticut College BA and a BS in engineering from WUSTL or in engineering from Dartmouth after five years work - three at Conn College and then two at either WUSTL or Dartmouth. During the three years at Conn, a student is expected to earn 3/4 of the credits required to earn a degree from Conn and to complete all GE requirements. A student should have a grade point average of 3.0 and a strong record in mathematics and science to apply for admission to either program.</p>
<p>The Connecticut College degree is not awarded until the engineering or applied science program is completed, normally five years after admission to the college. However, students are warned that credits for engineering and other technical courses taken may not count toward the requirements of the major or minor at Connecticut College.</p>
<p>Required Connecticut College Courses:
6 Physics, 3 Maths, 1 Computer Science, 2 Chem</p>
<p>The remainder of the physics major must be completed during the two years at Washington University or Dartmouth College.</p>
<p>My school does a 3-2 engineering program too, but you have to qualify for the 2 year school to qualify... we have it with WUSTL and SoCal.</p>
<p>Most of the NESCAC schools have 3/2 combined engineering programs, although I don't think many students take advantage of them. Williams, Wesleyan, Bates, Bowdoin, Hamilton, and Midd are all affiliated with [url=<a href="http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/engineering/combined.php%5DColumbia%5B/url">http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/engineering/combined.php]Columbia[/url</a>], which is the probably the most popular school nationwide for such programs. I think Colby and Amherst, as well as Conn College, are the only ones affiliated with Dartmouth. Tufts and Trinity have their own engineering programs, so they don't need 3/2 programs with other schools.</p>
<p>Are such programs worth it? Clark has a 3-2 program too giving you the option to complete the last two years in Washington University ( St loius ) , WPI or Columbia..</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I am wondering about this too, is it worth it or better to stick w/ 4yr BS in engineering and then on to higher degree?</p>
<p>Hobart and Willaim Smith has 3-2 w/ Dartmouth or RPI as well.</p>
<p>Any input?</p>
<p>We actually did a tour of Conn Coll and asked about the 3/2 program. The student guide said to us- People who want engineering degrees don't actually come here- felt pretty dismissive to me. However- the student in question could have been just a very unfortunate choice for a tour guide. I will say when we asked about 3/2 programs and looked into it a little at various schools, we heard a lot of. . . "people often don't like to leave their 'home school' after staying 3 whole years."</p>

<p>I dont know about that. If they were pursuing a regular major, they'd be graduating in four years.. So technically, they are missing out on only one year in their home college and in exchange for that, getting two more years of the college experience in the a new college environment...</p>
