Major

The engineering program is offered jointly with Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) through a formal agreement. The five-year program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics, mathematics and computer science, or chemistry from Dominican University and a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from IIT (aerospace, architectural, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, or mechanical engineering).

Major Requirements
Students participating in this program must complete the following courses at Dominican during their first four semesters of study.
• Architectural, Civil, Aerospace, Mechanical engineering: Mathematics 230, 245, 261, 262, 270, 280; Physics 221, 222,223; Chemistry 120; Computer Science 155.
• Computer engineering: Mathematics 230, 240, 261, 262, 270, 280; Physics 221, 222, 223; Chemistry 120; Computer Science 155, 165.
• Electrical engineering: Mathematics 230, 245, 261, 262, 270, 280; Physics 221, 222, 223; Chemistry 120; Computer Science 155, 165.
• Chemical engineering: Mathematics 261, 262, 270, 280; Physics 221, 222; Chemistry 120, 121, 253, 254; Computer Science 155.

Complete curriculum outlines for each individual program are available upon request from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Students apply to IIT during their sophomore year. Students admitted to the engineering program begin taking courses at both institutions starting their fourth or fifth semester of study.
Students are considered full time students at Dominican University and part time students at Illinois Institute of Technology. Students may continue to live on Dominican’s campus. While enrolled in the joint program, students are subject to the academic regulations and policies of both Dominican University and Illinois Institute of Technology.
Students complete all core and foundation requirements at Dominican. Course must be selected to also satisfy the social science and humanities requirements of IIT.
It is strongly recommended that a student who plans to participate in the joint program with IIT consult with the Engineering Faculty Coordinator as early as possible in his or her college career.
