Alumni Spotlight
Sarah Reeves Naioti ’17
Major: Chemical Engineering 3+2
Career: Sarah is strategic sourcing manager at the commercial aircraft group Moog. "I was able to achieve two degrees in minimal time/cost. This still is brought up whenever I am interviewing for new positions and is a wow factor to many employers. I was also able to negotiate my starting rate right out of college a little higher than the initial offer because of my additional background in chemistry."

Why study engineering at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍŶÓ?
Cooperative engineering allows students to combine studies in liberal arts and sciences with professional preparation in engineering. Students spend three years at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍÅ¶Ó majoring in either chemistry or physics, then transfer to a partnering engineering school for a final two years of study, earning degrees from both institutions.
Cooperative programs offer a number of advantages. Most engineering schools have large classes and focus primarily on their graduate students. At Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍŶÓ, the largest technical classes have about 70 students, and professors focus solely on undergraduates, both for coursework and for opportunities to participate in faculty-sponsored research—a rarity for undergraduates at larger institutions.
Program Options
Program Highlights
- Explore a number of liberal arts and science programs while maintaining the option to continue engineering studies.
- Take up to three years to decide whether to pursue engineering.
- Extend some forms of financial aid from four to five years.
- Graduate with two degrees in five years.
- Gain a decisive advantage in the employment market over candidates with a single degree.
