Pre-Engineering Program

Pre-Engineering students attend Carthage for three years and, upon successful completion of the required courses listed below, are admitted to a partnering engineering school for completion of the final two years of the five- year program. Acceptance into the engineering program at the partner school is contingent on a three-year Carthage GPA of at least 3.0. Participating engineering schools include:

• University of Wisconsin at Madison College of Engineering
• University of Minnesota

Upon graduation from the engineering school and completion of all Carthage graduation requirements, students receive the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree from Carthage and the Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) degree from the engineering school. While at Carthage, engineering students must major in one of the physical sciences, mathematics, or computer science.

Required courses for admission to partner engineering schools are:

• Chemistry 101, 102
• Computer Science 111
• Mathematics 112, 113, 306
• Physics 203, 204, 310 OR Mathematics 212
  

Students in the dual-degree program with Carthage scholarships are encouraged to apply to the engineering schools for continuing scholarship support.
