UMSL/WashU Joint Engineering Program

The Joint Engineering program will continue with the support of UMSL and Washington University through summer 2029. New students will no longer be admitted to the program after January 2026. If you are interested in majoring in engineering at UMSL and are starting after January 2026, please visit the UMSL School of Engineering website.

The University of Missouri-St. Louis and Washington University in St. Louis Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program combines strengths of the two universities to provide a flexible engineering program for the St. Louis community.

Students in the joint program take the pre-engineering core of mathematics, physics, chemistry, humanities, social sciences, and some engineering subjects through the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Students take upper-level engineering courses and laboratories at Washington University in the evenings after 4 p.m. This flexible program allows students to co-op during the day at local engineering firms.

The program offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Civil Engineering*, Electrical Engineering* and Mechanical Engineering*. Total semester hours required range from 127 to 139.

Students who meet the general admissions requirements of the University of Missouri-St. Louis may enroll in pre-engineering courses. Admission to the upper division program is normally granted to those students who have completed the pre-engineering program with a minimum grade point average of 2.75 over all mathematics, chemistry, physics and introductory engineering courses.

Students register through the University of Missouri-St. Louis and pay University of Missouri-St. Louis fees, plus an engineering fee for both pre-engineering and engineering courses.
