B.A. in Engineering

Through this accelerated “3+2” opportunity, you can earn two degrees in just five years. (Most students spend three years at Saint Francis, then transfer to an accredited engineering school, completing a B.A. in year four and a B.S. in year five.) You may also be interested in the following 4-year options offered entirely at Saint Francis University: Environmental Engineering or Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering. Saint Francis University has cooperative engineering programs with The Pennsylvania State University and the University of Pittsburgh. The programs are designed to prepare a student with a liberal arts background for a professional career in a branch of engineering. After successfully completing three years in the pre-engineering program at Saint Francis University, the qualified student transfers to any of the schools mentioned or to any school offering ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)-accredited B.S. program in engineering to complete the final two years of the program. After successful completion of one full year in an engineering program at another school, the student will receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Engineering from Saint Francis University. Major Requirements: Successful completion of one year in engineering at an ABET-accredited engineering school, including at least 24 credits in courses appropriate for an engineering program with a minimum Q.P.A. of 2.0 and a total of 128 credits between the two schools. Depending upon the branch of engineering chosen for study, one or more additional classes may be required for admission to an engineering school. Consult the program coordinator for details. Pre-engineering students must maintain a 3.0 overall quality point average and obtain a faculty recommendation for transfer to the Pennsylvania State University. Students transferring to the University of Pittsburgh or Clarkson University must have an over all 2.5 quality point average in those classes they intend to transfer. Students may transfer no classes in which their grades were below “C”. Transfer requirements for other engineering schools vary and will be addressed on an individual basis.
