Engineering (Arts & Science Cooperative Program), B.A. or B.S.

This is a five-year, dual-degree program, including three years of pre-engineering courses at LHU and two years at another school to complete an engineering degree there.  LHU presently has cooperative engineering agreements with the main campus and the Behrend campus of the Pennsylvania State University.  Alternatively, students may choose to transfer to any other school which has engineering programs.  In any case, upon completion of the engineering degree at another school as well as the LHU pre-engineering requirements, LHU will award the student either a Bachelor of Arts in Natural Science/Physics or a Bachelor of Science in Physics/Pre-Engineering.
