At Fontbonne University, we want to help you maximize your college experience. You have the opportunity to earn a dual degree in applied mathematics — or any degree as long as you meet the pre-engineering requirements — and engineering in just five years.
Through Fontbonne’s partnership with Washington University in St. Louis, you may apply to engineering school during your junior year and earn a bachelor’s degree from Fontbonne and a bachelor’s in engineering (with an option to also earn a graduate degree in engineering) from Washington University. You can double your degree by literally walking across the street — now that’s convenient and beneficial.

Students usually follow either a “3-2” or a “4-2” plan, entering the engineering program after their junior or senior years. Students go on to complete four semesters of concentrated engineering study at the School of Engineering & Applied Science at Washington University. You may finish your degree at Fontbonne before entering the engineering program, but you must apply within one year of graduation. Each school retains its own tuition rates.

Why Fontbonne?

Our professors are knowledgeable and committed to your success. Our small class sizes, open door policy for students and our curriculum help ensure that you receive an outstanding education in your Fontbonne major field.

And you’ll always have a “home base” here. The mathematics faculty at Fontbonne serve as supportive advisors and mentors during your application process.

Great Benefits

You reap all the benefits and resources of both universities. As a dual degree participant, you have the same options as any Washington University undergraduate engineering student. Some of the highlighted opportunities available include: professional and applied science degrees, internships, cooperative education positions and graduate and professional joint degrees.

The dual degree program is dedicated to producing engineers who possess a quality technical education coupled with strong communication and problem-solving skills.
