Our engineering students spend their first three years at Wheaton taking the full range of courses in Bible, theology, social science, art, music, literature, writing, etc. just as any Wheaton student would. They also complete the math and science courses that form the foundation for any of the engineering fields. After the three years, students transfer to an ABET accredited engineering school >> for two final years of engineering coursework. The engineering school can be chosen from among many possibilities including the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign, University of Minnesota, Washington University, and many others.

A special arrangement is in place with the nearby Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chicago which allows students to spend all five years living at Wheaton. Upon completion of the dual degree engineering program, all students receive two degrees - a B.S. or B.A. in Liberal Arts Engineering from Wheaton and a B.S. in their chosen engineering discipline from the engineering school.
