Readiness for Success in Engineering
Engineering is a dynamic field that plays a crucial role in advancing our society’s technological frontiers. At Merrimack College, our program is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge required for a successful career in this transformative domain.
Why Study Engineering at Merrimack?
Pursuing an engineering degree is not just about acquiring technical knowledge; it’s about understanding how to leverage this knowledge for societal benefit. While our program is thorough to ensure you’re well-prepared for the challenges of the profession, you’ll find ample support and resources at every step of your journey.
Understanding the Curriculum
Most of our students embark on a 4-year program, but we recognize and celebrate the diversity of our learners. Some might choose to extend their studies over 4.5 or 5 years, while others, with prior credits, might graduate earlier. Remember, it’s about your individual journey, and there’s no one-size-fits-all.
If you’re beginning with Pre-Calculus or MTH 1000, you might opt for summer classes to align with the standard timeline. However, this is just one of many paths to success.
