Engineering Program
Seton Hill University offers a five-year cooperative liberal arts and engineering program. The student spends three years at Seton Hill, concentrating on liberal arts courses, with a major in chemistry or mathematics, and fulfills the prerequisites for an engineering program. Many engineering colleges and universities welcome three-two programs. By the following the 3+2 format, the student then has the versatility and value of two degrees: a Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A.) from Seton Hill University and a Bachelor of Science degree (B.S.) from an engineering college.
The engineering program provides the foundational coursework for a student to continue study in a wide range of engineering fields such as mechanical, electrical, civil, or chemical. The student must consult with the Engineering Faculty Advisor to ensure that their course of study includes the requirements for the engineering program in which she/he wishes to enroll.
During the three years at Seton Hill, the student satisfies the requirements of the Liberal Arts Core, the pre-engineering courses, and the major requirements including the portfolio.
In the event the student leaves the engineering school before receiving a degree she/he may return to Seton Hill and follow normal chemistry or mathematics course of study to earn a degree.
Advantages
The advantages for starting course work for an engineering degree at a liberal arts college include:
- Time to assess your abilities and interests during your first few years at Seton Hill University;
- The ability to concentrate on liberal arts subjects with a major in chemistry or mathematics;
- The ability to fulfill the prerequisites for an engineering program in small classes, taught by professors not teaching assistants.
