Cooperative Degree Program

Engineering

If Lawrence is your first choice, apply by Nov. 1 to receive your admission decision by Dec. 1. Early Decision applicants also receive financial aid offers and select housing early, making senior year feel more settled.

Program Overview

Students wishing to combine a liberal arts education with engineering may want to choose a dual degree program in engineering, which typically involves two to three years of study at Lawrence University and two years of study at an affiliated engineering school. Lawrence has formal affiliations with Columbia University (New York, New York), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, New York), and Washington University (St. Louis, Missouri). Upon satisfactory completion of the cooperative program, eligible students will receive the Bachelor of Arts degree from Lawrence as well as a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from the engineering school they have attended. Because specific prerequisite course requirements vary among the engineering schools and programs, students pursuing the cooperative program in engineering should consult early with the program advisor.
