Engineering Requirements/Program Options
William Jewell College is one of a limited number of liberal arts colleges which have entered into an agreement with Washington University in St. Louis for a “three-two” dual-degree program in engineering. After three years in residence at William Jewell College and two years at the Washington University School of Engineering the student can achieve both the B.A. degree and the B.S. degree in engineering.
William Jewell College also maintains similar “three-two” plans with Columbia University in New York, the University of Missouri at Columbia, and the University of Kansas (electrical engineering only). Typically students receive a B.A. degree from William Jewell College as well as the engineering degree after completing the program at both schools. While in residence at Jewell, students should major in chemistry, mathematics, or physics, depending upon the type of engineering school in which they plan to complete their studies. Since the semester-hour load is unusually heavy, students are advised to plan their work very closely with the official advisor for this specialized program. Generally, faculty members from the Physics Department serve as official advisors for each of the programs; therefore, students should contact that department for more information.
Pre-Engineering Program of Studies
For students intending to complete professional study at Washington University in St. Louis, Columbia University in New York, the University of Missouri at Columbia, or the University of Kansas, the following courses should be included for a physics major:

*These courses are taught every other year and may be taken in reverse order. Other courses to meet specific requirements of the various target schools should be worked out with the assistance of the faculty. For students who plan to enter an engineering program after three years of study at William Jewell and who would benefit from preparation emphasizing chemistry, the following type of program is suggested.
