Pre-Engineering
LaGrange College has a pre-engineering program designed to provide a broad liberal arts background while preparing the student for a professional engineering program. We have established pathways which begin with a liberal arts education and end with a degree in engineering at a partner school. In this program, a student would attend LaGrange College for approximately 2.5-3 years to complete the Ethos requirements and engineering preparatory courses and would earn an Associate of Science Degree in Mathematics from LaGrange College. After satisfactorily completing the required courses at LaGrange College, the student would transition to an institution with a full Engineering program, such as Auburn University or Georgia Institute of Technology (GA Tech).
There is an established Dual Degree Engineering path at GA Tech, which typically takes up to three years to complete the degree once transferring there. After completion of the degree requirements for both institutions, the student would receive an engineering degree in the selected discipline from Georgia Tech as well as a General Studies Bachelor of Arts degree with a minor in Mathematics from LaGrange College.
Alternately, many institutions have transitioned away from Dual Degree programs and instead accept transfer students from partner schools. We have an agreement with Auburn University to help ensure a smooth transition from our program to theirs. After transferring to Auburn and completing the degree requirements there (typically 2.5-3 additional years), the student would receive an engineering degree in the selected discipline from Auburn University.
This well-rounded education consisting of liberal arts and engineering curricula is an attractive combination. All students considering a Pre-Engineering pathway should contact the program coordinator, Dr. Stacey Ernstberger, prior to registration.
