You will receive a fundamental education in your core subjects and be positioned for success in one of two custom engineering programs, letting you earn two degrees in just five years. 

• Take advantage of Fontbonne’s small class sizes with lots of personal attention before embarking on your engineering courses at a much larger university.
• Get a solid foundation in Fontbonne’s rigorous undergraduate curriculum.
• Earn two different undergraduate degrees.
• Attend a well-respected university to earn your engineering degree.
• Enjoy the same internship possibilities as any other undergraduate student in your major.
• Maintain your relationship with the knowledgeable faculty at Fontbonne while you continue on into your engineering courses at the larger university; these faculty will serve as supportive advisors and mentors throughout your education.
• Reap all of the benefits and resources of both universities. You have the same options as any University of Missouri-Kansas City or Washington University undergraduate engineering student. Opportunities include:
  • Professional and applied science degrees
  • Internships
  • Cooperative education positions
  • Graduate and professional joint degrees

Fontbonne University students may choose a dual degree program of study in collaboration with either the School of Computing and Engineering at the University of Missouri-Kansas City or the James McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. 

This program may be combined with any major but is most easily pursued in conjunction with a major in applied mathematics or biology. You must complete the first three years of required work on a major at Fontbonne. A minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of B+ (3.25 on a 4.0 scale) or better, both overall and in science and mathematics courses, is required for admission to the dual degree program. Applicants with lower GPAs are considered on a case-by-case basis. Upon satisfactory completion of the program, you will be awarded bachelor’s degrees from both Fontbonne University and the University of Missouri-Kansas City or from both Fontbonne University and Washington University in St. Louis.
