Arcadia University offers a combined five-year (3+2) Engineering Program in affiliation with the University of Pittsburgh and Washington University in Saint Louis. Students are also encouraged to apply to Dartmouth College and Columbia University; although you will not receive guaranteed admission, you are still eligible to apply.

Three or four years at Arcadia University
Two years at one of our engineering affiliates
Opportunities to study abroad at some of the top universities around the world

Once you have completed all degree requirements and have earned a sufficient number of credits, you are eligible to receive a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree from Arcadia University at the commencement ceremony. After successful completion of the program you will receive their Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering or Applied Science from the college of engineering of the university.

The intimate community at Arcadia made it impossible for me to be “just a number” at school. Because of this culture, I was able to develop a sense of independence and responsibility which empowered me to feel like I could control my own destiny. It’s very easy to get “lost in the sauce” at college, but here at Arcadia your fellow Knights will not let that happen. Without a doubt, Arcadia is the perfect place for any person to start becoming the best version of themselves.
