Bachelor of Science - BS or Master of Science - MS in Engineering - Accelerated Degree Sacred Heart University, USA

Students spend 3 years at SHU followed by 2 more years at one of our partner engineering schools (Columbia & RPI), and earn bachelor’s degrees in both a liberal arts discipline (from SHU) and an engineering major (from Columbia or RPI) at the end of the five year program. The combination of a broad liberal arts background and a technical engineering degree prepares students to work as leaders in engineering and science fields; the dual degrees make 3+2 Engineering Program graduates highly sought after in the job market. With a grounding in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, SHU 3+2 Program students are particularly poised to apply engineering design in the service of the human community.
