Harris-Stowe State University and Saint Louis University said they will sign an agreement Thursday to offer students a dual degree in mathematics and engineering.
The program will allow students to complete the requirements for a math degree at Harris-Stowe and continue at SLU for either two years by majoring in interdisciplinary engineering or three years with a major in mechanical or computer engineering, ultimately earning an engineering degree from SLU. After five years, a student will graduate with two degrees.
The goal of the partnership is to increase the number of under-represented graduates in the area of science, technology, engineering and math, the universities said. Students completing the mathematics degree will begin enrolling in the engineering portion starting in fall 2014. read more…
