From the roads you drive on to the house you live in, and even your computer, all these items share something in common – an engineer designed them.

If you love math, are mechanically inclined and want to understand and build the objects our society depends on, consider engineering.

Dominican offers a joint engineering program with the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). The five-year program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree from Dominican (mathematics, mathematics and computer science or chemistry) and a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from IIT in specific paired combinations.

Students get the best of both worlds by completing coursework in Dominican’s liberal arts environment while also enjoying IIT’s renowned engineering expertise.

Students apply to IIT during their freshmen or sophomore year. Students admitted to the engineering program begin taking courses at both institutions starting in their third or fifth semester of study.

Students are considered full-time students at Dominican and part-time students at IIT. Students may continue to live on Dominican’s campus. Students complete all core and foundation requirements at Dominican. Courses must also be selected that satisfy the social science and humanities requirements of IIT.

Students choose which engineering discipline they wish to pursue at IIT from among:

• Aerospace
• Architectural
• Chemical
• Civil
• Computer
• Electrical
• Mechanical engineering

Each IIT engineering major course of study is paired up with a major at Dominican. These pairings cannot be changed.

• Chemistry/Chemical Engineering
• Mathematics/Aerospace Engineering
• Mathematics/Architectural Engineering
• Mathematics/Civil Engineering
• Mathematics/Electrical Engineering
• Mathematics and Computer Science/Computer Engineering
• Mathematics/Mechanical Engineering
