Engineering Dual-Degree Programs

3-2 and 4-1 Dual-Degree Programs with Partner Schools

The College of Engineering offers dual-degree programs with partner institutions across the country. Students in these programs spend three years at the partner school, then apply to complete their engineering studies at Notre Dame in their fourth and fifth year. Students earn two degrees at the end of five years—a bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree from the partner institution and a bachelor of science in engineering degree from Notre Dame. For more information on these programs, please visit our partner school's website.

International Students

Need-based financial aid for international students admitted as part of a Dual Degree Engineering Program is very limited. International students should be prepared to finance, either privately or through a sponsor, the full cost of their Notre Dame education. The International Student Certification of Finances must be submitted at the time of application for admission, illustrating and documenting sufficient financial support to meet the projected cost of a Notre Dame undergraduate education.
