Dual-Degree in Engineering
In addition to the requirements of the Simmons University core curriculum and their major, students must meet the entrance requirements of Columbia University. These requirements cover physics, math, chemistry, and computer science, plus one or two courses for specific engineering majors as specified in the Columbia Combined Program guide. Detailed questions concerning requirements of individual majors can be discussed with the Engineering 3+2 Program Director, Viktor Grigoryan, at Simmons.
During their time at Simmons, students major in a field that strongly overlaps the entrance requirements for Columbia and earn a Bachelor of Science. Examples of these majors include Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Biology.
At Columbia, students choose from engineering areas of study that lead to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree. Those areas include:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Chemical Engineering
- Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics
- Earth & Environmental Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
- Materials Science and Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
Upon completion of the program, students receive a Bachelor of Science degree from Simmons University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from Columbia University.
