Newberry, Clemson Sign Dual Education Agreement

Newberry College has launched a dual education program with Clemson University. The Newberry College 3 + 2 Program will allow students to earn bachelor of science degrees from both Newberry College and Clemson University in five years. A similar program with Duke University leads from a bachelors degree to a masters degree in five years.

A key feature of the 3 + 2 Program with Clemson University is that it provides a clear pathway for students wishing to pursue a career in engineering. The program offers guaranteed admission into most of Clemsons engineering programs for students who successfully complete all academic requirements of the 3 + 2 Program.

The Newberry College 3 + 2 Program is ideal for students who may be more comfortable starting out at a smaller campus like ours, said Timothy Elston, vice president for Academic Affairs. Newberrys highly interactive and hands-on classroom setting builds a strong academic foundation that will help students thrive in Clemsons rigorous engineering program.

How It Works

Students participating in the 3 + 2 Program complete their first three years of study at Newberry College where they fulfill all general education and other graduation requirements for Newberry. Students complete the remaining two years of study at Clemson University, where they complete the course requirements for an Engineering degree.

Students work with an academic advisor from each institution to develop a personalized course of study for their desired path in Clemsons engineering program. When all requirements are met for both institutions, students earn a bachelor of science degree in Mathematics from Newberry College and a bachelor of science degree in Engineering from Clemson University.
