Students who do not wish to pursue the dual-degree program are recommended to complete a Physics degree at MNU as preparation for pursuing an engineering master’s degree from an accredited engineering school. An alternative path is to spend two years at MNU completing pre-engineering courses (in general education, mathematics, and science) before transferring to an accredited engineering school for, typically, three years to complete an engineering bachelor’s degree. In either, case the student should be familiar with the requirements of the respective engineering school.
For those preparing for a master’s in engineering, we recommend a degree in Physics and/or Math. Those interested should also consider the alternative path of taking their first two years at MNU followed by an additional three years at the University of Kansas (or any other school with an engineering degree). Students on this path would be able to achieve a master’s degree in engineering from the University of Kansas with no additional time commitment.
During their time at MNU, students would be considered Math and/or Physics majors. A sample schedule for the two years at MNU is outlined below.
