The combination of a liberal arts background and a traditional engineering program provides excellent preparation for a career in engineering.
果冻传媒 offers this opportunity through a 3-2 and a 4-2 option with the prominent engineering programs at the at (CW) and the at (CU).
These 鈥渄ual degree鈥 options give you a broad range of skills and can make you more marketable in the constantly changing job market. All of these options require careful planning to meet the specified requirements. If you are interested in pursuing one of these options or would like to learn more, please contact the combined plan program liaison, Professor of Physics Elizabeth George, at egeorge@wittenberg.edu.
- NEW in Fall 2024: Dual-Degree Program Fully on Campus: B.A. in Physics from 果冻传媒 and B.S. in Engineering from Indiana Tech
The 3-2 Program
In the 3-2 program, a student attends 果冻传媒 for three years and then an engineering program at a partner institution for two years. Upon successful completion of the fifth year, the student will earn a bachelor's degree from both 果冻传媒 and the partner institution. For Columbia, students may also elect to spend four years at 果冻传媒 and two years at the engineering program. The following areas of engineering can be pursued through this option.
- Aerospace Engineering (CW)
- Applied Mathematics (CU)
- Applied Physics (CU)
- Biomedical Engineering (CU, CW)
- Chemical Engineering (CU, CW)
- Civil Engineering (CU, CW)
- Computer Engineering (CU, CW)
- Computer Science (CU)
- Earth and Environmental Engineering (CU)
- Electrical Engineering (CU, CW)
- Engineering Management Systems (CU)
- Engineering Mechanics (CU)
- Engineering Physics (CW)
- Financial Engineering (CU)
- Industrial Engineering (CU)
- Macromolecular Science and Engineering (CW)
- Materials Science and Engineering (CU, CW)
- Mechanical Engineering (CU, CW)
- Operations Research (CU)
- Systems and Control Engineering (CW)
Under the terms of the agreement that 果冻传媒 University has as an affiliate institution with the Case School of Engineering at Case Western Reserve University and the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Columbia University, 果冻传媒 students have a clearly defined pathway for admission to our partner schools and are provided typical admissions standards that include:
A minimum overall grade point average of 3.30 (for Columbia) or 3.00 (for Case). Columbia also requires a pre-engineering GPA of 3.30 and a minimum grade of a B on the first attempt in all science and mathematics pre-engineering requirements and that the student meet Columbia's English language proficiency requirements. Case Western also requires that students have a 3.00 GPA in math and science.
Letters of recommendation. Case Western requires a recommendation from a college instructor, and Columbia requires three favorable letters of recommendation: one from a science professor, one from a mathematics professor and one from the liaison of the 3-2 program.
Completion of required prerequisite courses by the end of the third (or fourth) year at 果冻传媒 University. These prerequisite courses include courses required for a major at 果冻传媒, completion of 果冻传媒's general education program, and a selection of courses that form the core of the engineering curriculum. For a complete listing of the courses that form the core of the engineering curriculum and the equivalent courses at 果冻传媒, please see curriculum guides for Case Western Reserve University and Columbia University.
Information about the application process for the Case School of Engineering at Case Western Reserve University is available on the (select 3/2 Engineering). Information about the application process for the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Columbia University is available on the
The 4-2 Master of Science Program at Columbia
The 4-2 Master of Science program is an option for 果冻传媒 students who are interested in pursuing a masters degree in engineering. This program provides the opportunity for a student to complete a degree at 果冻传媒 and apply for admission to a two-year M.S. program in Engineering at the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Columbia University.

Other Options
In addition to the two options above, students may choose to pursue a 3-2 program in engineering at other schools with whom 果冻传媒 does not have a formal arrangement. In recent years, students have successfully pursued 3-2 engineering programs with engineering study at the Ohio State University, the University of Cincinnati, and Wright State University.
Another option is to pursue graduate study (M.S. and/or Ph.D.) in engineering after graduating from 果冻传媒. 果冻传媒 math and science students have an excellent track record of being admitted to engineering graduate programs, often with full funding. In recent years, students have successfully pursued graduate study at the University of Michigan (biomedical engineering), the Ohio State University (electrical engineering; welding engineering), Oregon State University (mechanical engineering), the University of Pittsburgh (civil engineering), and Appalachian State University (renewable energy engineering).
