Requisites

Prerequisites for Entering the Dual Degree Engineering Program

To be eligible to enter Washington’s dual degree program in engineering after three years of undergraduate study at Drew, students must have completed at least 90 credits in transferable coursework with grades of C- or better, including:

Mathematics, (4 semesters) Calculus I, II and III, and Differential Equations: MATH150, MATH151, MATH250, MATH315
- (Linear Algebra, MATH303, is strongly recommended)
Physics, (2 semesters with lab) Calculus-based physics: PHYS150 and PHYS160
Chemistry, (1 semester with lab): CHEM150 or CHEM151
Computer Science (1 semester): CSCI149 or CSCI150
English composition: satisfied by DSEM100, WRTG120, or WRTG101
Humanities and Social Sciences: (4 courses, with at least 2 courses in Humanities and 1 course in Social Sciences) This requirement is satisfied by most Drew courses identified as Breadth-Humanities (BHUM) and Breadth-Social Sciences (BSS).

Note: Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Computer Science, and Computer Engineering majors have additional or different prerequisites. You are advised to visit the Washington University program website and meet with Drew's Engineering Program Adviser for the most up-to-date information about the requirements for all programs.

Successfully completing all engineering prerequisites in addition to Drew’s General Education and major requirements takes careful planning. All students intending to participate in this program should contact the Engineering Program Adviser (engineering@drew.edu) during their first semester at Drew for an advising appointment. Students need strong math skills to succeed in this program. To finish the Drew portion of this program in three years, students may have to take 20 credits (5 courses) in some semesters, or take classes in the summer. First-year student registration: students should take MATH150 (or a higher level math if placed at that level), PHYS150, and PHYS113 in the fall semester. While students can pursue any major at Drew, the Physics, Engineering Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics majors provide the best alignment with the Washington University Dual Degree Program prerequisites.

Eligibility and Application Criteria

Students who meet the following criteria will be admitted to this program
Be enrolled full-time at Drew.
Achieve an overall GPA of 3.25 or higher.
Achieve a GPA of 3.25 or higher in science and math coursework.
Provide a letter of institutional endorsement from the dual degree liaison officer.
Complete (before entering Washington) 90 transferable credits with grades of C- or higher.
Complete all Drew general education requirements.
Complete most of the major requirements at Drew. Students may transfer up to 10 credits taken during their first year at Washington University as electives toward their Drew major. Students pursuing this option must:
- a) Complete Drew's Request to Transfer Credit form to have their Washington courses approved as electives for their major before beginning their final semester at Drew.
- b) Talk to the program chair and their major adviser about how they will fulfill Drew’s major capstone requirement.
Demonstrate English Language proficiency as decided by Washington University
Be in good standing, including but not limited to confirmation that the student is free of any disciplinary/student conduct record with no unresolved or pending disciplinary/student conduct issues at Drew.

Upon successful completion of the bachelor's degree at Washington University, students in the 3+3 program will be awarded a bachelor’s degree from Drew University and a B.S. from Washington University. A student who does not complete their bachelor's degree at Washington may transfer up to 24 credits from Washington toward Drew’s degree requirements. Transfer credit will be given for courses satisfactorily completed at Washington with a grade of C- or higher.

Student Actions

Before attending Washington University, students should complete the Dual Degree Program Declaration Form located on the Office of the Registrar’s Student Information & Forms web page under the College of Liberal Arts section.

When students are ready to graduate, they will need to send an official transcript from Washington University with the final grades of all coursework. Credits will be applied to complete their Drew degree. Additionally, students will need to apply to graduate via TreeHouse, instructions available on the Apply to Graduate website.
