Nazareth partners with Syracuse University to offer exciting options in Engineering
Nazareth University is partnering with Syracuse University to offer a 4 + 2 direct admission program for engineering. Students can complete a bachelor’s degree at Nazareth in certain science or math programs to go on for a master’s degree in one of a dozen engineering programs, in person or online, through Syracuse University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science.
Nazareth’s partnership with Syracuse University provides a streamlined admissions process and enables students to earn their bachelor’s at Nazareth in small classes with personal guidance and mentoring from faculty and staff. Eight of Nazareth’s undergraduate science and math programs are eligible, including biomedical sciences, ethical data science, and business analytics and artificial intelligence.
"This partnership between Nazareth University and the Syracuse College of Engineering and Computer Science is a very exciting opportunity for Nazareth students," said Thomas Lappas, Ph.D., dean of Nazareth University's College of Liberal Arts, Sciences, Business, and Education. "Nazareth is very impressed by Syracuse University's carefully crafted summer bridge program, which promises to support recent math and science bachelor's degree recipients in familiarizing themselves with the language and culture of engineering and reinforcing their applied science skills before starting in their graduate programs in the fall."
After graduating from Nazareth with a Bachelor of Science degree and a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or better, students attend a six-week summer bridge program with Syracuse. Students can typically earn a graduate engineering degree at Syracuse University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science in 24 months.
“This partnership reflects our commitment to expanding access to graduate engineering education and creating clear, achievable pathways for talented students across New York State and beyond,” said Shikha Nangia, Milton and Ann Stevenson Endowed Professor of Biomedical and Chemical Engineering and Chair of the Department of Biomedical and Chemical Engineering. “By combining strong undergraduate preparation with targeted bridge coursework, we are enabling students from diverse academic backgrounds to pursue advanced engineering degrees and contribute to solving complex technological and societal challenges.”
