The Engineering Dual Degree program gives you many choices. For three years you’ll major in physics or chemistry, and then transfer to our Engineering partner school, Washington University in St. Louis (WashU). At MNU you’ll complete all the general education requirements and required courses for your chosen major. You’ll then transfer to WashU and complete the required sequence of engineering courses in two years for a bachelor’s degree (3+2) OR three years for a bachelor’s AND a master’s (3+3). Put simply, you can graduate with two bachelor’s degrees OR a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree, making you more marketable in the workforce.
The benefit of starting at MNU means that you’ll be a “liberally educated engineer,” combining your strong technical education with a background in communication and problem-solving skills, humanities and social sciences. All these skills translate to teamwork savvy in the workplace.
