Yes. For example, to take full advantage of varsity athletics, study abroad, internships or any other aspect of Susquehanna, you are welcome to apply for dual degree admission in your fourth year. Check each partner university’s website linked above for more information.

Although all three partner engineering schools have engineering master’s degree options, the process of applying to these master’s programs is separate from the 3+2 dual degree program. You potentially can earn a master’s degree by adding one more year to your joint degree program. Applying to any of the master’s programs would be done at the partner institution after the bachelor’s degree is attained.

Susquehanna’s 3+2 dual degree program has a great success rate. To date: (1) all students who have applied to partner institutions have been accepted; (2) all students who have gone to “+2” portion of programs have graduated, or are in the process; (3) all students have had jobs lined up before graduation; and (4) Susquehanna students also have a good track record of getting the “3” part actually done in three years … that success partly is due to the support that students receive from two advisors (one in your major and one separate for the 3+2 program).

In a transfer, you stop pursuit of the undergraduate degree at one school, transfer all possible credits to another school, and continue pursuit of your undergraduate degree at the new school. In a dual degree program, you spend some time at your home institution, and some time at another university to study engineering, but enough time at each institution to complete liberal arts and engineering degrees. The efficiency of earning both kinds of degrees is maximized by the dual degree partnership, which includes an agreement that each institution will count some of the other school’s credits for its degree requirements.

Successfully completing specified coursework at Susquehanna qualifies you to apply for dual degree admission to one of our cooperative programs in your third year. Before that time, valuable guidance is provided by Susquehanna’s 3+2 engineering advisor.

For Case Western University, students must earn an overall and pre-engineering GPA of 3.0 or higher, as calculated by Case Western.

For Columbia University, students must earn a minimum grade of B on the first attempt in each prerequisite course specified by Columbia in order to have priority approval for entrance to Columbia for the 3+2 program. An overall and pre-engineering GPA of 3.30 or higher, as calculated by Columbia, is required. Additionally, the minimum grade for each pre-engineering science or math course must be a B (3.0) or better on the first attempt.

For Washington University in St. Louis, students must earn an overall and pre-engineering GPA of 3.25 or higher, as calculated by Washington.

Each institution reserves the right to consider any applicant information that may be of concern — e.g., a violation of academic integrity. Barring any such serious problem, students who satisfy application requirements are admitted.

Yes. At the time you apply for dual degree admission, U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply for need-based financial aid by submitting the FAFSA and the CSS Profile. The amount of aid ranges up to the full cost of attendance, though you are not guaranteed the same financial aid package you receive at Susquehanna. Merit-based scholarships may be available at some engineering schools and could require separate applications. Although international students are not eligible for need-based financial aid, they could be eligible for scholarships at some engineering schools. Check each university’s website linked above for more information.

Any financial aid received from the engineering schools is up to the discretion of those institutions and is not decided in any way by Susquehanna.

While they do not require you to live in university housing, they often have space to assist you on or off campus. Check each university’s website linked above for more information.

Yes, as a 3+2 student, Susquehanna will allow you to participate in the commencement ceremony with your peers, however your degree will not be conferred until you complete the requirements of your engineering program.
