ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½ City University is introducing a dual degree program partnership with Washington University in St. Louis for students interested in pursuing careers in engineering. The program will begin in the Fall 2017 semester.

Students will complete three years of a liberal arts foundation and rigorous science and math coursework at OKCU, followed by two years of engineering coursework in the area of their choosing at Washington University in St. Louis. Once finished, the students will earn two undergraduate degrees β€” a bachelor of science in pre-engineering studies from OKCU and a bachelor of science in engineering from Washington University in St. Louis.

Stephen Prilliman, OKCU’s Pre-Engineering Program liaison, said the engineering degree partnership is the only program of its kind in ΒιΆΉ΄«Γ½.

β€œThis partnership between two prestigious schools will prepare students for exciting careers in one of the most popular STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields,” Prilliman said. β€œEngineers are not only paid well, but are also in demand.”

Students may specialize in one of four different areas of engineering study β€” biomedical, chemical and environmental, electrical or mechanical.

β€œThis partnership brings together strengths from both universities to train liberally educated engineers, OKCU for a liberal arts education and Washington University in St. Louis for engineering,” Prilliman added.

Scholarship opportunities are available to those who qualify. More information about the program and scholarship opportunities can be found at okcu.edu/pre-engineering, or contact Prilliman at 405-208-5087 or [email protected].
