3+2 Engineering Program

Carthage offers a dual-degree program in engineering. Students spend three years at Carthage and, upon successful completion of required courses with certain GPA conditions, are assured admission to a partnering engineering school for completion of the final two years of the five-year program. 

Upon graduation from the engineering school, students receive the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree from Carthage and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) from the engineering school.

Partnering engineering schools include:

  • The University of Wisconsin-Madison: College of Engineering
  • The University of Minnesota: College of Science and Engineering

While at Carthage, engineering students must major in one of the physical sciences, mathematics or computer science.

"We have an outstanding group of professors who will go out of their way to make sure that you understand the material, and that you are getting the most out of your Carthage education, both in and out of the classroom, which I think is a rarity when attending a school of this caliber."

— Brendan Fuller, '11, Madison, Wis.
