Engineering 3-2

In the physical sciences, we investigate the fundamental laws of nature; in engineering, we put those laws to use—building a smarter phone, a lighter jet, a longer-lived battery, or even a more efficient company. Through the University of Redlands, you can explore both fields while enjoying the small classes, personalized education, and diverse opportunities that Redlands is known for and developing the breadth of liberal arts knowledge and skills that are essential for a rewarding life and a successful career.

The study of engineering begins with a foundation in mathematics and the natural sciences. Either you can pursue a master's in engineering after earning a bachelor's degree in one of the sciences, or you can expedite your education by participating in our 3-2 engineering program.

In partnership with Columbia University in New York City, the University of Redlands provides the opportunity to earn both a B.A. or B.S. from Redlands and a B.S. from Columbia in just five years. Through junior year, you’d study at the University of Redlands and complete your Redlands major and general education requirements while taking pre-engineering courses.

For the next two years, you’d enroll at Columbia University’s School of Engineering (financial aid and housing are arranged through Columbia.) At the end of the five years, you’d graduate with degrees from both institutions. You are free to pair any University of Redlands undergraduate major with any Columbia engineering major (see Columbia’s requirements page for full list); however, the pre-engineering requirements are most compatible with the physics B.A. or individualized Johnston emphases.

If you’re interested in this program, the program adviser will work closely with you to develop a suitable plan of study. Regardless of whether you participate in this program, the pre-engineering courses required for the 3-2, in combination with a science or math undergraduate degree, are good preparation for enrolling in an engineering M.S. program.
