There are two programs for students who wish to pursue a bachelor's
degree in engineering. The first, the Two Plus Two Program, is offered
to specially qualified students upon admission to the Newark College of
Arts and Sciences. This program offers the student a guaranteed space
in the School of Engineering in New Brunswick upon completion of the
required courses during the first two years at Newark campus with a
cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher. The student then completes the
remaining two years of study in the School of Engineering in New
Brunswick.
The second, the Preengineering Transfer Program, is
available to regularly admitted students who wish to transfer to the
School of Engineering in New Brunswick. Students in this program follow
the identical curriculum as students in the Two Plus Two Program.
However, students in the Preengineering Transfer Program must apply for
admission to the School of Engineering via the College-to-College
transfer process.
Two Plus Two Program
By
combining science and liberal arts courses at the Newark College of Arts and Sciences with appropriate
courses at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, this four-year
program allows the student to complete the first two years of a regular
engineering curriculum at the Newark College of Arts and Sciences. The
last two years are taken at the School of Engineering in New Brunswick.
The bachelor of science degree is conferred by the School of
Engineering at the end of the fourth year.
Preengineering Transfer Program
Students admitted to the Newark College of Arts and Sciences may apply
to transfer to the School of Engineering by means of the
College-to-College online application no later than November 15 for the
spring term and May 15 for the fall term. Students interested in
transferring must satisfactorily meet the standards of the School of
Engineering and should contact the engineering adviser in the
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the earliest
opportunity. As is the case with other preprofessional programs,
competition is intense and admission to the School of Engineering is
not guaranteed.
Curriculum
There are five
tracks of study for engineering majors in either program: biomedical
engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical and
chemical engineering, and mechanical engineering. All majors take the
same program of courses during the first year. The program of courses
during the second year depends on the selected track of study; students
should consult with the engineering adviser in the Department of
Mathematics and Computer Science for additional information.
