<p>On their website, it says that Georgetown has a 5-year program with Columbia University in which you can get a degree in both science and engineering?- It is in the college undergraduate part of the website.</p>
<p>Has anyone ever heard of this?</p>
<p>What's the link?</p>
<p>Science</a> at Georgetown College - Georgetown College</p>
<p>It is all the way at the bottom.</p>
<p>At first I thought they were talking about a new program, but I think it is a program that already exists.</p>
<p>weird...I'm a junior at Georgetown and have never heard of this, so it must be really small or brand new</p>
<p>If you are really interested in the program, I would email them to requesting more information about the program.</p>
<p>I think I will.</p>
<p>I was admitted EA, but I don't think I could go to a school where engineering isn't even an option.</p>
<p>What department should I email, however?</p>
<p>I guess I would email the department at which you would do the science major in the dual degree. On the major/minor/certificate page, the science and engineering are listed, but you can't click on it to see the requirements. You may have to send multiple emails. I would try and find a dean or something because they are supposed to know all of the programs (dean of the college in this case...it's their job to help you). That would be first, and if they turn you to someone else/don't respond, I would try the professors in the science department (who would probably be less helpful).</p>
<p>I have talked to several people about the engineering program, and this is what I have discovered, if any one wants to know.</p>
<p>Georgetown does indeed have an agreement with Columbia and they offer courses that prepare a student for the following engineering programs:</p>
<p>Earth and Environmental Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Materials Science Engineering
Industrial Engineering
Organizational Engineering
Engineering Management</p>
<p>Students can only major in these listed because Georgetown does not have the courses to offer other engineering majors.</p>
<p>The required coursework is best fit by a degree in Physics or Math. </p>
<p>I also found out that students apply during there sophomore year of junior year. They spend the first 3 years at Georgetown and an additional 2 years at Columbia. The program also does not seem to be that competitive because it is not very popular.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
