3-2 Engineering
Holy Cross offers a cooperative, five-year program for students who are interested in combining the liberal arts and sciences with engineering. Students enrolled in the 3-2 engineering program spend three years as full-time students at Holy Cross and two years as full-time students at the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University in New York City or at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. Students may also enroll in a similar six-year program at Columbia's Fu School, combining four years at Holy Cross with two years at Columbia.
At the conclusion of the program, students receive both a bachelor's degree from Holy Cross—typically in mathematics, physics, or chemistry—and a bachelor's degree in engineering from the partner institution.
Students interested in this program must complete mathematics, chemistry, and physics requirements and demonstrate proficiency in one computer language.
