To be considered for the The Pre-Engineering B.S. Studies Scholarship:
- ACT science and math scores of 27 (or SAT math score of 640).
- Demonstrate proficiency in high school calculus, in order to be admitted unconditionally into the Pre-Engineering Studies program.
- Complete three years of pre-engineering studies at Oklahoma City University followed by three years of study in the engineering field of their choice at Washington University.
To complete your application, you must submit an application for admission to Oklahoma City University.
Oklahoma City University students wishing to become engineers can do so through our Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Engineering partnership with Washington University in St. Louis. In this unique program, students complete three years of rigorous math, science and liberal arts courses at Oklahoma City University followed by three years of study in the engineering field of their choice at Washington University, leading to three degrees: a Bachelor of Science from OCU and both a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree in Engineering from Washington University. Students achieve their master's degree in the same time it would take in a traditional program. Participants in this program thus gain the best of both worlds -- a small, personal, liberal arts background from OCU and a top-ranked engineering experience from Washington University.
This scholarship is a competitive, full-tuition scholarship awarded to an outstanding first year student who chooses to pursue the Oklahoma City University portion of this partnership program. This award covers tuition for six semesters at OCU and cannot be combined with other university scholarships.
To enter the Bachelor's or Master's Degree Program at OCU, students must demonstrate they will be “calculus ready” in their first semester at OCU. Students can demonstrate calculus readiness in a number of ways, for example: having an ACT math score of 27 (or SAT math score of 640), proficiency in high school calculus, pre-calculus, or concurrent enrollment in college algebra. Scholarship recipients would be expected to meet (or exceed) this requirement.
