Siena participates with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Catholic University, Clarkson University, Manhattan College, SUNY-Binghamton and Western New England College in a cooperative science-engineering program.
The program is a combined five-year sequence which leads to a B.S. degree in chemistry, computer science, physics or mathematics from Siena and a B.E. degree in aeronautical, biomedical, civil, chemical, electrical, industrial, materials, mechanical or nuclear engineering at one of the six cooperating schools. (Not all of these disciplines are available at all of the engineering schools and some additional specialties and variations are available at individual institutions.)
A student will attend Siena for the first three years majoring in chemistry, computer science, physics, or math-science. Upon the successful completion of the third year with a clearly demonstrated potential of success in engineering and the recommendation of the Dean of Science, such students would transfer into an engineering program at one of these cooperating colleges. Upon completion of the fourth year, Siena will award a B.S. degree in the appropriate discipline. The student is awarded the B.E. degree at the successful completion of the fifth year.
