AN EDUCATION BUILT FOR YOU
With a variety of math and physics courses to choose from, you’ll be able to hone in on the type of engineering you decide to pursue, from your first day of class to the final piece of your Senior Capstone.
Working with your Guidance Team, you’ll make sure you get the specific classes you need to meet the programming requirements, and guide you towards the real-world work opportunities that will support your career goals.
And when the time comes, your Guidance Team will help you prepare professional school application materials, conduct practice interviews with pre- and post-consultation, and make sure you’re the most competitive candidate possible when you apply to your engineering program after Hartwick.
EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITIES
Our 3-2 pre-engineering program allows you to choose any major, then add on the math, physics courses and additional focused courses, depending on the particular kind of engineering that you choose to pursue.
You’ll have a pre-engineering advisor and a major advisor who will help you with your academic and career paths. You’ll graduate from Hartwick with the education necessary to continue toward a bachelor’s of science in engineering in an additional two years.
Cooperative agreements with both Clarkson University and Columbia University welcome you to transfer to either university after three years at Hartwick. Spend the next two years focusing on your engineering courses, and at the end of five years, you’ll graduate with your degree from Hartwick and an engineering degree from either Clarkson or Columbia.
