Engineering: Preprofessional Programs

The successful engineer employs both art and science in solving problems. By combining a liberal arts education with an engineering degree, you will find yourself uniquely prepared to tackle the technical and creative challenges faced by today’s engineers.

Holy Cross offers two cooperative programs for students who are interested in combining the study of the liberal arts and sciences with engineering. 

  • The 3-2 Engineering Program combines three or four years at Holy Cross with two additional years at Columbia University’s Fu School of Engineering. 
  • The Collaborative Accelerated Master’s Program with Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) allows students to begin their master’s study at WPI while completing their Bachelor of Arts degree at Holy Cross.

Both engineering programs are open to students of all majors and class years. Advisors offer one-on-one guidance to connect you to the resources and tools that will enable you to achieve your individual career goals.
