Pre-Engineering, BA

Overview

The Pre-Engineering major prepares students for engineering careers and to apply their scientific knowledge to a range of practical problems and technologies. The University offers joint programs with Columbia University: under the BA/BS plan, a student who attends Yeshiva University and fulfills all requirements for graduation aside from the total number of credits can apply to Columbia University’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science as a junior. If accepted by Columbia University, the student attends Columbia University for two additional years and, upon successful completion of the program, Yeshiva University confers the Bachelor of Arts degree and Columbia University confers the Bachelor of Science degree. 

Degree Requirements

In addition to the program requirements below, students are required to complete the General Education Requirements for Yeshiva College.
