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 the 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 school-to-school 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 (NJIT), 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.
Pre-engineering 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 school-to-school online application no later than
December 1 for the spring semester and June 15 for the fall semester.
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 computer 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.
