Description

SUNY Cortland participates in 3+2 engineering programs in which students spend three years on the Cortland campus majoring in chemistry or physics and then spend two years on a cooperating campus majoring in engineering. Those who complete this program receive two degrees, a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry or Physics, and a bachelor of science in a field of engineering. Schools that our students have attended include: 

State University College of Ceramics at Alfred University

• Ceramic Engineering

State University of New York at Binghamton

• Electrical Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering

State University of New York at Buffalo

• Aerospace Engineering
• Chemical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Electrical and Computer Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Industrial Engineering

Case Institute of Technology, Case Western Reserve University

Engineering (Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Fluid and Thermal Sciences, Industrial, Mechanical and Aerospace, Metallurgy and Materials Science, Polymer Science, Systems and Control, and undesignated)

Clarkson University

• Chemical Engineering (Biomedical Engineering Science, Energy Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Nuclear Engineering)
• Civil and Environmental Engineering (Environmental, Surveying and Construction, Geotechnical, Structural, Transportation, Water Resources, Engineering Science)
• Electrical and Computer Engineering (Communication Systems, Control Systems, Power Systems, Electronic Devices and Circuits, Engineering Science, Biomedical and Environmental Systems)
• Mechanical-Industrial Engineering (Aviation, Biomechanical Engineering, Medicine and Dentistry, Engineering Science, Industrial Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Power, Urban Transportation, Manufacturing Technology)

State University of New York at Stony Brook

• Electrical Engineering
• Engineering Science
• Mechanical Engineering

A decision to enter the 3+2 program should be made upon admission to SUNY Cortland as a freshman. Transfer students generally cannot complete the Cortland phase of the program in three years.
