Articulation Agreements

Clarkson is constantly working with our affiliated two-year colleges to update the 2+2 and 3+2 articulation agreements. While we continuously work to update agreements, we encourage you to contact the Office of Transfer Admission at Clarkson and the 2+2 or 3+2 liaison at your college in order to ensure proper course selection and the most updated list of agreements.

Without proper course selection, we cannot guarantee that 2+2 and 3+2 arrangements can be completed successfully within the 2+2 and 3+2 framework.

If a 2+2 transfer agreement does not exist with your college, Clarkson will work with you to maximize the possibilities of your transfer credit into your major of interest at Clarkson. Many of Clarkson’s transfer students do not enter under an articulation agreement.

Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering 2+2/3+2 Agreements

2+2 Agreements

Engineering majors at Clarkson include Aeronautical, Chemical, Computer, Civil, Environmental, Engineering & Management, Electrical, Mechanical and Software.  Students are encouraged to work with the 2+2 liaison at the two-year school and the Office of Transfer Admission at Clarkson to ensure proper course selection. If an agreement does not exist with your school or major or interest, we are happy to work with you on course selection to help maximize your transferable credit to Clarkson University. 

Clarkson University has a long-standing transfer agreement with colleges belonging to the Two-Year Engineering Science Association (TYESA) in New York State. If your school offers an A.S. degree in Engineering Science, you may be able to transfer into Engineering at Clarkson with junior status even if there is not a formal agreement below. If you have questions about your college, please contact us for proper advisement.  Engineering programs at Clarkson included in the TYESA agreement include Aeronautical, Chemical, Civil, Environmental, Engineering & Management, Electrical and Mechanical.

3+2 Agreements

These agreements have been established with four-year liberal arts institutions. Students will complete three years of study at the liberal arts institution and two years of study at Clarkson in a carefully planned engineering curriculum. Upon completion of studies at Clarkson, participants will receive two bachelor’s degrees, one from Clarkson and one from the liberal arts institution.

Although it is the intention of this program and every effort will be made on the part of both institutions to follow the 3-2 format, certain situations, including selection of courses and engineering major, may necessitate the requirement of the student to spend either an additional semester(s) of study beyond two years at Clarkson and/or overload the number of credits normally taken by an engineering student at Clarkson for one or more semesters to meet the engineering degree requirements at Clarkson.

While we continuously work to update agreements, 3-2 programs take careful course planning at both the liberal arts institution and Clarkson. We encourage you to contact the Office of Transfer Admission at Clarkson in order to ensure proper course selection and the most updated list of agreements. It is important to contact the Office of Transfer Admission at Clarkson, and the 3-2 Engineering Coordinator at the liberal arts institution, to indicate your interest in this program. Special advising will be required from the very first year of your studies. 

Interested students apply for the program during the fall or spring of their junior year.
