  Location

The 2+2 Pre-Engineering program covers the first two years of a four-year engineering major and is staffed by faculty from the Physics Department. After two years at Canisius students transfer to an Engineering School of their choice to complete the engineering degree. The 2+2 program covers the science, mathematics and computer programming that form the basis of study for the first two years of most engineering school curricula. The 3+2 dual degree program allows students to complete a physics major from Canisius, providing an extensive grounding in both science and engineering that can open the doors to advanced engineering and technology studies in a wide range of fields. The 2+2 program is perhaps better suited to students closely focused on a specific engineering field or career path. The 3+2 program is particularly suited to students who are strongly interested in demanding scientific or industrial research and development careers, particularly in an interdisciplinary area. The dual degree program includes an articulation agreement for students interested in pursuing Mechanical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University at Erie, The Behrend College. Many students also pursue their engineering degree at University at Buffalo (UB), and Canisius maintains close contact with UB.
