Engineering Cooperative Program
COORDINATOR
Joelle Murray, Ph.D.
Under an agreement with the engineering schools at Oregon State University, the University of Southern California, and Washington State University, students may attend Linfield for three years, pursuing courses in mathematics and the sciences in addition to the general education program in the humanities and social sciences, then apply for entrance into the professional engineering program (junior year) at the cooperating engineering school. In a minimum of two additional years, they complete all of the requirements both for the B.A. or the B.S. degree from Linfield (with an appropriate major), and for the B.S. in Engineering degree from the cooperating university. Special arrangements can be made for students wishing to enroll at other schools of engineering.
Since most four-year B.S. programs at engineering schools now take many students more than four years to complete, however, the cooperative program, often referred to as “3-2,” may take the student more than five years to complete.

Courses in the Linfield portion of the program include:
| Code | Title | Credits |
|---|---|---|
