DePaul University offers a joint program with the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in physics and engineering. This program allows students to enroll in courses at IIT while remaining full-time DePaul students. Students will receive a degree in Physics from DePaul University and a degree in Mechanical Engineering from IIT upon completion of the five-year program. Students can also choose a four-year joint program that leads to a degree only from DePaul or can choose to complete their engineering requirements at another university. Students interested in Engineering Physics or the joint program should promptly consult with a Physics Department advisor for information about scheduling, requirements, and admission to the joint program. Specific procedures for course enrollment are outlined.

Basic Information about the IIT/DePaul Joint Program is available.

The Physics Department administers the Pre-Engineering program in all fields except for Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, which are administered by the chemistry department.
