Engineering Dual Degree @ Maryville University


	Maryville University and the School of Engineering and Applied Science of Washington University offer students wishing to have both a liberal arts background and an engineering degree the opportunity to enroll in the Dual Degree Program in Engineering and Applied Science

This 5-year program enables students to earn both a Bachelor of Arts degree from Maryville and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering and Applied Science from Washington University. The first three years are spent at Maryville University concentrating in the liberal arts. The final two years are spent at Washington University acquiring specific engineering skills.

The Dual degree option has many advantages for the student who is considering a career in engineering.

	Program graduates are “liberally educated engineers” possessing strong communication and problem solving skills and a broad background in the humanities and social sciences, as well as a high-quality technical education.

	Students can complete degrees in two diverse areas.

	Students can postpone irreversible career decisions while exploring and confirming long-term goals.

	Students gain extra time for the pursuit of other academic, athletic, or extracurricular interests.

	Students have the opportunity to use Maryville’s supportive, personalized and student-centered environment to develop the skills and confidence needed for success in engineering.

	Introductory engineering courses are offered at Washington University in a special format to permit dual degree students to test their interests and explore engineering.

Employment opportunities in engineering are plentiful and will continue to increase as our society grows in complexity and size. More and more employers are looking for liberally educated engineers who can view engineering possibilities from a sophisticated humanistic and social perspective.
The Dual Degree Program prepares students for successful careers in many areas of engineering. Listed below are some of the engineering areas available at Washington University and average starting salaries for recent engineering graduates.

Washington University Admissions Expectations

	Students may apply to the Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science anytime after their sophomore year. There is no application fee, and the necessary materials are available from the Maryville Liaison Officer.

	Maryville’s Dual Degree Liaison Officer must sign the student’s application form to certify his or her aptitude for engineering study, attesting that the student is expected to complete a bachelor’s level, non-engineering degree no later than receipt of the engineering degree from Washington University.

	A GPA of B (3.0/4.0) or better, both overall and in science and mathematics courses, normally allows a Maryville student to entering Washington University’s dual degree program and to select any engineering major. Those students below this standard are selected on a case-by-case basis.
Financial Aid

	In addition to financial aid available at Maryville, approximately 88% of those entering Washington University’s Dual Degree program receive some form of need-based assistance.

	The Maryville University Liaison Officer awards one Affiliation Scholarship per academic year covering one-half tuition at Washington University (GPA must exceed 3.5).

	Full-tuition and half-tuition Harold P. Brown Engineering Fellowships are also available at Washington University.
