BA Chemistry 3/2 Cooperative Engineering
The three-year curriculum in cooperative engineering is quite restrictive: there is room for few electives. In addition, most engineering schools require that a two-course sequence of courses be completed in each of Social Sciences, and Humanities and Fine Arts. Only certain courses in the School of Social Sciences and Humanities will be credited by the cooperative engineering schools; the department chairperson maintains a list of these approved courses.
A student who wishes to apply to an engineering school under this program should make his or her initial contacts with the engineering school by the end of the second year of study. The formal application should be accompanied by a letter from the Chemistry Department chairperson stating that the student has met all of the requirements of this program. In addition, a certain grade point average is required to be accepted; as of this writing it was 2.75. Finally, the faculty of the cooperating engineering department has the option of rejecting a candidate who has met all of the above requirements although this has never happened to a Millersville student.
Another way to obtain a degree as a chemical engineer is to complete the BS-CHEM curriculum and apply to an engineering school for acceptance as a graduate student working for a Master's degree. Approximately four-fifths of the engineering schools in the United States accept graduate students who have no undergraduate courses in engineering.
