1997-1998 - The University of Scranton

PRE-ENGINEERING
The University provides a pre-engineering program which introduces the student to the highly technical
training necessary for all phases of the engineering profession. This is a two-year course of study which
enables the student to transfer to another school to complete his degree work.
Of special importance is the University of Scranton’s association with the Cooperative Engineering
Program at the University of Detroit Mercy, and its programs in chemical, civil, electrical, environmental,
and mechanical engineering. For the student who has completed the pre-engineering curriculum at the
University of Scranton, the Detroit Mercy three-year cooperative program offers alternate semesters of formal
instruction and work experience in industry. A direct transfer program is available with Widener
College, which may be either a Co-op program beginning in the summer preceding the Junior Year or a
regular two-year program. In addition to the valuable experience gained from industry, many students have
been able to pay the cost of their tuition from the remuneration received for their work. This amounts to a
substantial equivalent scholarship grant.
Other schools into which University of Scranton students transfer include Lehigh, Bucknell, Penn State
and Drexel.
Generally, different engineering programs have slightly different requirements which must be completed
before starting the Junior year. These will vary from school to school. Therefore, students should, before
beginning the Sophomore year, consult with an advisor at the institution at which they plan to complete
their studies.
