1999-2000 - 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 or her 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.
