Engineering

Carthage offers a pre-engineering program for students who want to become engineers.

The program is a 3-2 dual-degree program. Students spend three years at Carthage and two years at a partnering engineering school. Upon completion of the five-year program, students receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Carthage and a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from the engineering school.

Partnering engineering schools are:

  • The University of Wisconsin-Madison: College of Engineering
  • The University of Minnesota: Institute of Technology

While at Carthage, engineering students must major in one of the physical sciences, mathematics or computer science. Students are assured admission to the partnering engineering school upon successful completion of required courses with certain GPA conditions.
