Washington University Dual-Degree Partnership

While at Centre, students have the option of working toward a major in physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, environmental studies, or biology. At the same time, students are expected to complete the common requirements of all Centre graduates, including coursework in the humanities, social sciences, and fundamental questions.

Washington University’s dual degree program is typically completed as a “3-3” program. Students spend three years at Centre and then three years at Washington University completing both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree. It is also possible to complete a “4-3” (four years at Centre followed by three years at Washington University). Some students use this option in order to completely finish a major, complete a double major, or utilize four years of sports eligibility.
 

A Centre College student is guaranteed admission to Washington University’s prestigious engineering school provided that three criteria are met. The student must:

• Complete the required preparatory coursework in physics, math, computer science, biology, and chemistry (Depending on the engineering degree pursued at the partner school).
• Meet the minimum GPA requirement of 3.25 overall GPA and 3.25 GPA in the required courses
• Receive favorable recommendations from Centre professors.

As part of this program, the student receives a 50% tuition discount for all three years at Washington University.
