Earn both your Engineering and Physics degrees with this unique 5-year program.
51ÁÔÆæ and Northern Illinois University (NIU) have partnered to let you obtain your Physics, B.S. from 51ÁÔÆæ and your Mechanical Engineering, B.S. from NIU.
How does the program work?
This program allows you to take advantage of the strengths of both 51ÁÔÆæ and NIU. Your program starts at 51ÁÔÆæ with your core Engineering courses. By your fifth or sixth semester, you will be taking courses at both institutions.
Admission Requirements
Applicants to the Joint Program must be admitted by both 51ÁÔÆæ and NIU. In addition, any current 51ÁÔÆæ student may, with 51ÁÔÆæ's permission, apply for the program, and will be considered for admission by NIU using its usual transfer student criteria. Students must meet 51ÁÔÆæ and NIU criteria for satisfactory academic progress in order to remain in the Joint Program, including a minimum 2.75/4.0 GPA in their 51ÁÔÆæ courses. Transfer credit earned from other institutions prior to enrollment at 51ÁÔÆæ must meet NIU transfer credit requirements. For students enrolled in the Joint Program, NIU will accept transfer credit completed with a grade of "C" or better which has been accepted by 51ÁÔÆæ, provided the student has obtained prior 51ÁÔÆæ and NIU approval by filing a student petition in accordance with existing 51ÁÔÆæ and NIU regulations. NIU courses will be offered in DeKalb or at the Naperville Campus. Students must satisfy all published requirements of the institution granting the degree.
