Engineers bridge the gap between scientific discoveries and real-world applications.
What if you could find a career that combined your interest in science, math, technology and art? Engineers draw from all of these fields in order to find elegant solutions to technical problems. The Engineering Dual Degree program at Maryville works in conjunction with the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences of Washington University or the University of Missouri Kansas City or Missouri University of Science and Technology. Most engineers specialize and find an engineering career in one of many fields, including biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, computer engineering or electrical engineering.
ENGINEERING PROGRAM
WHY MARYVILLE
Engineering majors enrolled in the dual program spend a minimum of three years at Maryville and earn an undergraduate degree in science by taking classes in mathematics and sciences including specific course requirements in biomedical, chemical or computer science engineering. Students then enter the engineering program at either Washington University in St. Louis, UMKC or Missouri S&T for a minimum of two years and earn an undergraduate degree in engineering.
Maryville partners with corporate and civic organizations in the greater St. Louis region and beyond to provide students with opportunities to experience hands-on involvement in real-world projects. Maryville students gain internship and research opportunities with companies such as:
