<p>I heard some LACs offer 3+2 or 3+1+1+1 engineering course with universities. Does anybody know what are the LACs? Thanks.</p>
<p>I know Grinnell does w/ Columbia</p>
<p>Haverford has a 3+2 engineering program with Caltech.</p>
<p>All of these schools have 3+2 programs with Caltech, actually.</p>
<p>Students from the following institutions are eligible to apply to the 3/2 program:
* Bowdoin College (ME)
* Bryn Mawr College ¶
* Grinnell College (IA)
* Haverford College ¶
* 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>
<p>I know Colgate has one with RPI, Dartmouth, Columbia, WUSTL.</p>
<p>here is a link to a list of some 3-2 programs, however even this is far from complete</p>
<p>[College</a> Lists / 3-2 Engineering](<a href=“College Lists Wiki / College Lists Wiki News and Information”>College Lists Wiki / 3-2 Engineering)</p>
<p>I know Franklin and marshall has one with Columbia.
Type Columbia combined plan on a search engine and there will be a list on one of the pages. Its alot of colleges</p>
<p>W&M offers a 3+2 engineering with Columbia.</p>
<p>just curious…what is the advantage of 3+2 programs? can’t you just double major and save money (at most colleges)?</p>
<p>Middlebury and Dartmouth, RPI or Columbia; Emory and Georgia Tech</p>
<p>Providence College with WUSTl or Columbia</p>
<p>Columbia has a [url=<a href=“http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/engineering/combined/affils.php]list[/url”>http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/engineering/combined/affils.php]list[/url</a>] of ~ 100 affiliated LACs. They probably have the biggest “network”. </p>
<p>The bigger question would be finding LACs that regularly send students to participate in such 3/2 programs. In practice, this option is rarely to never utilized at most LACs.</p>
<p>Before you get your heart set on this, you should know that relatively few people end up completing them. After 3 years at a college, its hard to leave the friends you’ve made for 2 more years at a brand-new school. And people who are interested in 3:2 programs are those who like the LAC atmosphere, another reason not to leave. They end up deciding to stay 1 more year and get their degree, rather than pay for 2 more years of college somewhere else.</p>
<p>But don’t take my word for it; contact the LACs your considering and ask them how many enter the college as part of the 3:2 program, and how many end up transferring out to finish it.</p>
<p>Instead of 3+2 mind as well apply to the handful of good engineering “LACs”… Mudd and Bucknell for example. There seem to be an incredible amount of disadvantages with the 3+2 program.</p>
<p>Connecticut College and Dartmouth or WUSTL</p>
<p>I think that Swarthmore, Trinity, Lafayette and Union are LACs that all offer engineering in addition to Harvey Mudd and Bucknell.</p>
<p>^Lehigh, as well.</p>
<p>^Oops. Make that small research university (~7,000 students).</p>
