LAC's that offer 3-2 programs

<p>Since I am an international student seeking aid, there is not much hope for me in the engineering schools. There are some lac's that offer 3 years in the lac-then transfer to a engineering school for 2 years to get a BA+ BS degree, so I am shooting for that. </p>

<p>Please reply with the lac name and the partner universities</p>

<p>Whitman--Caltech, Dartmouth</p>

<p>reed - - caltech</p>

<p>there are tons of schools!</p>

<p>Lawrence U - Wash U (Wash U has 3/2 with many schools)
Davidson
Agnes Scott (GA Tech)</p>

<p>tons and tons of places. Check the really small ones that are a bit lesser-known.</p>

<p>Students from the following institutions are eligible to apply to the 3/2 program:</p>

<pre><code>* Bowdoin College (ME)
* Bryn Mawr College (PA)
* Grinnell College (IA)
* Haverford College (PA)
* Mt. Holyoke College (MA)
* Oberlin College (OH)
* Occidental College (CA)
* Ohio Wesleyan University (OH)
* Pomona College (CA)
* Reed College (OR)
* Spelman College (GA)
* Wesleyan University (CT)
* Whitman College (WA)

<p>Caltech</a> Undergraduate Admissions: 3/2 Applicants</p>

<p>The biggest transfer destination in 3-2 is probably Columbia University. Columbia lists more than 90</a> LACs as 3-2 program affiliates.</p>

<p>Other schools known for 3-2 programs with LACs are CalTech, Washington U in St. Louis, and Dartmouth. Dartmouth also offers 2-1-1-1: you spend your junior year studying engineering at Dartmouth, then return to your LAC and graduate with your class, then go back to Dartmouth to finish your engineering studies.</p>

<p>Practically every LAC claims to offer some sort of 3-2 arrangement. However, at many schools the 3-2 program is rarely used. More commonly, LAC students who want to pursue engineering careers get a science or math BA, then enroll in engineering graduate school for an engineering MS (the "4-2 program").</p>

<p>Some LACs have their own ABET-accredited BS engineering programs (e.g. Swarthmore, Smith, Trinity)</p>

<p>The page itself is quite vague but it does partner with many, many schools.</p>

<p>REED does. with Cal-tech ,Columbia, UW and i think a couple other schools.</p>

<p>Be careful with 3+2 programs. Some guarantee admission to the engineering program(s) assuming a certain GPA; other programs only give you the opportunity to transfer, and you may or may not be accepted.</p>

<p>Knox partners with Wash-U but my nephew went to Knox and is finishing his 3-2 at UIUC because the program there met his interests (robotics) better. He also considered RPI.</p>

<p>Bard has a 3/2 program with Colombia, Dartmouth, and WashU.</p>

<p>University of the South- 3-2 program with Duke in Forestry/Geology</p>

<p>Furman University-3-2 Environmental Science/Earth Science with Duke-B.S. from Furman- M.S. from Duke</p>

<p>Wofford College- 3-2 Program in Engineering with Clemson University or Columbia</p>

<p>I had no idea these Southern LAC's offered this level of 3-2 until our twins began looking at these schools.</p>
