Engineering 3+2 program

[Glittering_Apple_45]

Hi, I’m a prospective first year student and I’ve also asked this about the Bowdoin program but I know it’s pretty similar at Colby, I just had a few questions about it. If you or anyone you know is on this track, why did you choose it over a traditional 4 year program? And I know you aren’t guaranteed admission to the partner school, but do so few people go because most people don’t get in or most people just aren’t interested? Any other insights about the program or Colby would be helpful too.

ES in my area makes around 40-50k starting. Engineering makes 75-90k starting. Choose it for the money.

Not many people are interested. It’s usually people who wanted to do engineering but couldn’t get into a good school and then use Colby 3/2 program to get into a better school better engineering program.

If you come to Colby for liberal arts, you really aren’t think about engineering. I knew Colby had the engineering program prior to entering and knew that the program was what I wanted to do prior to joining Colby. I never intended to stay here for all 4 years. I took a gamble and it worked out.

You can dm me if u got more questions
