Eastern/Villanova Engineering Program Outline

  • 5-8 year program: 4 years at Eastern, 1-3 years at Villanova
  • Earn 2 degrees: BA in Mathematics from Eastern, MS in Engineering from Villanova

9 Engineering Tracks to Choose From

  • ​​Biochemical
  • Chemical
  • Cybersecurity
  • Electrical
  • Mechanical - Thermal Fluids
  • Mechanical - Dynamics/Controls
  • Mechanical - Mechanics of Materials
  • Sustainable (Watershed or Environmental)
  • Environmental & Water Resources

General Timeline

Year 1 & 2:

  • Only take classes from Eastern as a typical math major would
  • One exception - Engineering students must take General Chemistry I & II
  • Final decision on which track to pursue needed by Spring of Year 2

Year 3 & 4:

  • Dual-enrolled at both Eastern & Villanova, taking math courses at EU and undergraduate engineering courses at Villanova
  • Credits taken at Villanova count towards credits at EU (ie 9 credits at EU, 7 at Villanova make 16 credits total for EU)
  • Because of this, Villanova courses come at EU prices, and fall under EU financial aid*
  • Graduate from Eastern in May of Year 4

Year 5-8:

  • Full-time graduate student at Villanova

*Note: Villanova undergraduate tuition is not charged to EU-VU engineering students provided that the student completes the MS from Villanova. If the student fails to complete the MS, the student is responsible to repay the cost of those undergraduate course which may be a significant cost.

GPA Requirements:

  • Must maintain a 3.5 GPA (overall GPA)
  • Must score no lower than a B- in any of the relevant courses
  • Relevant courses for Eastern & each track
  • Falling below requirements leads to a 1-semester probation
  • If GPA (in required courses) does not reach 3.5 in that time, results in a disqualification from the program

Registration:

  • Registering for Villanova classes generally occurs at the same point in the semester as EU registration
  • Obtain an add/drop form for off-campus classes (different from on-campus add/drop form) from either Dr. Huddell or the Registrar’s Office
  • List classes to be added and return to Registrar
