In pre-engineering, you combine an interdisciplinary liberal arts degree with an engineering degree at a partner institution. Engineers solve current problems while planning for what awaits with a focus on collaboration, discovery, and hands-on experience.

About the Majors

The Pre-Engineering Program, often called the dual-degree program, provides students with the advantage of studying at a liberal arts college for three years while also providing them with entry into some of the nation's best engineering schools.  

Students pursuing engineering under the dual-degree program follow essentially the same curriculum as regular engineering students. The coursework required of all engineering students can be divided into three areas: science and mathematics, the liberal arts, and engineering. In general, under the dual-degree program, the first two areas are studied at Ohio Wesleyan, while the last one is studied at the engineering school. 

Students earn two degrees, an Ohio Wesleyan bachelor of arts degree and an engineering degree from a partner institution, a combination designed to enhance their professional development as engineers. The combined degree programs and sponsoring offices are:

  • Biomedical Engineering (Biological Sciences)

  • Chemical, Environmental Engineering (Chemistry)

  • Computer, Electrical Engineering (Mathematics and Computer Science, Physics/Astronomy)

  • Aerospace, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Industrial, Materials, Mechanical, Nuclear Engineering (Physics/Astronomy)
