The Joint Undergraduate Program of the University of Missouri-St. Louis and Washington University in St. Louis was created in 1993.
Students who enter the program will take the pre-engineering core of mathematics, physics, chemistry, humanities, social sciences, and some engineering subjects at University of Missouri-St. Louis; upper-level engineering courses and laboratories are taken at Washington University in the evenings and on Saturdays. This flexible program allows students to co-op during the day at local engineering firms.
The program offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Total semester hours required range from 127 to 139. All engineering degrees are granted by the University of Missouri and are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
Students who meet the general admissions requirements of the University of Missouri-St. Louis may enroll in pre-engineering courses. Admission to the upper division program is normally granted to those students who have completed the pre-engineering program with a minimum grade point average of 2.75 over all mathematics, chemistry, physics, and introductory engineering courses.
Students register through University of Missouri-St. Louis and pay University of Missouri-St. Louis fees, plus an engineering fee for both pre-engineering and engineering courses.
