Pre-Engineering

Information from 2020-2021 Course Catalog

With a long-standing tradition of strength in science and pre-engineering, Denison offers two plans to prepare for an engineering career. In the first, students receive a bachelor’s degree after four years at Denison with a major in natural sciences or mathematics, followed by two years of graduate work at another institution leading to a master’s degree in engineering. Denison students are regularly accepted to graduate engineering programs at leading universities.

The second plan is a 3+2 / 4+2 program in which students study three or four years at Denison, and an additional two years at an affiliated engineering school, resulting in two bachelor’s degrees. Denison is affiliated in such dual-degree programs with Washington University (St. Louis) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Students interested in these plans should contact the Pre-Engineering Director, in care of Denison Physics Department, at their earliest opportunity. The required math and science courses typically include:

Additional courses may be required, depending on the chosen field of engineering.
