PRE-ENGINEERING STUDIES

Oklahoma City University is proud to partner with Washington University in St. Louis to offer this “3+2” dual degree program. Students will complete three years of a liberal arts foundation along with rigorous science and math courses.

Qualified students can then transfer to Washington University in St. Louis to complete 2 years of engineering coursework. These students will earn two undergraduate degrees — a B.S., Pre-Engineering Studies degree from OCU and a B.S., Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis.
