<p>"Combined 3-2 Plan in Engineering: California Institute of Technology and Washington University in St. Louis
Qualified students may receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Pomona College and a Bachelor of Science degree from the California Institute of Technology or Washington University in St. Louis after a combined five-year program, the first three years of which are taken at Pomona. Students pursuing this plan will be accepted at Caltech and Washington University under an expedited procedure less elaborate than admission as a transfer student, if recommended by Pomona and if they have the requisite grade point average in science and mathematics courses at Pomona. Caltech specifically reserves the right to limit both the number of students admitted in certain fields of study (even to exclude some fieldscurrently, electrical engineering) under the 3-2 program and the financial aid they may offer to accepted students. Interested students should consult with Professor Catalin Mitescu as soon as possible after their arrival on campus. Under a feature of Washington University in St. Louis Dual-Degree program, the Pomona College faculty liaison is authorized to award each year one two-year merit scholarship, covering half-tuition at Washington University, to a suitably qualified Pomona College candidate about to enter the 3-2 program with a GPA of at least 10.5 (i.e., 3.5/4).</p>
<p>Students must plan to satisfy the General Education requirements of Pomona College, and course requirements of the second institution should be carefully considered in consultation with the adviser. In addition, the following lower-division courses should be completed: Physics 51A,B; Physics 101; Mathematics 102; and Chemistry 1A,B. Satisfaction of the Pomona College major in Pre-Engineering for those students who transfer at the end of the junior year requires at least five upper-division courses in physical science and mathematics, selected in close consultation with the faculty adviser, from among those courses normally required for a major in Physics or Chemistry."</p>
