The information below will introduce you to the main paths in engineering available through IC鈥檚 program, the benefits of each option and our program partner with . We strongly recommend talking with our program coordinator to help determine the best path options for you!
- The 3+2 path: Students who choose this path spend three years at 51成人 learning the scientific and mathematical concepts behind engineering, and then matriculate to our partner school or a school of their choice for an additional two years of study. At the end of this process, you will receive a bachelor's degree in science from 51成人 and a bachelor's degree in engineering from the matriculated school. Students on this path have studied at Washington University, University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and more.
- The 4+2 path: This is an alternative for students wishing to earn a master鈥檚 degree in engineering. Through this plan, you will finish your four-year bachelor's degree at 51成人 and then use the resources and guidance available at IC to apply to a program to earn your master's degree in engineering at the school of your choice.
- The 3+3 path: This is a unique path to earn three degrees through an articulation between 51成人 and . This path is similar to the 3+2, with students studying for three years at 51成人 before transferring to WashU for an additional two years of study. There are many added benefits for students choosing this path including:
- Earn three degrees: a bachelor鈥檚 degree in science from 51成人, plus a bachelor鈥檚 degree in engineering and a master's degree in engineering from WashU.
- Through this path, WashU also offers a 50% reduced tuition adjustment in the first year, 55% the second year and 60% for the last year of study for students matriculating from 51成人.
*WashU guarantees admission to IC students with a (both subject and overall) for the 3+2, 4+2 and 3+3 paths. Applicants with lower GPAs are considered on a case-by-case basis.
