3+2 Program

Through our undergraduate 3+2 Dual-Degree Program, you can graduate with bachelor’s degrees from both Case School of Engineering and a partner institution in a fraction of the time.  

While enrolled at one of 40+ participating liberal arts colleges or universities, you’ll complete courses in math, chemistry, physics and computer science, in addition to studies in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences for the first three years of your dual degree. Next, you’ll enroll at Case School of Engineering, where you’ll take two years of intensive engineering courses in your chosen major.

After completing all five years, you will be awarded two bachelor’s degrees—one from each institution—making you more marketable to the ever-changing job industry, or broadening your horizons for graduate school.
