BA/BS in Engineering, General

The pre-engineering route at Providence College lets students begin an engineering education within a liberal arts setting. The most common arrangement is a 3+2 plan: three years of foundation coursework on campus, then two years at an affiliated engineering university. Students who prefer more time at Providence can stretch this to a 4+2 plan, finishing a four-year degree before moving on. A 3+3 option with Washington University in St. Louis adds a further year and leads to a master's degree. Engineering and Physics faculty run the program, aiming to strengthen analytical thinking, problem solving and communication alongside the sciences.
