incoming freshman interested in engineering, loves school, but gotta make it fit career wise, just wondering if anyone has any firsthand info on this program, thanks
No firsthand knowledge of the program, but I suggest you ask Rollins how many students have pursued this program and what the stats were of successful applicants in the latter part of the program.
true. thanks, not sure it is widely pursued and no info on the site as to minimum gpa (or other) requirements to proceed.
The minimum GPA is a 3.0 out of a 4.0, with the exception of Washington University in St. Louis, which requires a 3.25 GPA.

However, the requirements listed at the partner institutions are different.
For example, at Columbia University, for students that begin after 2011, they raised the requirements. Check with the Rollins program coordinator for the latest requirements.

3/2 programs mean paying for a 5th year of college, when an engineering degree can be done in 4.
