Program Overview

Bachelor of Science BS/MS Track

Overview

The School of Polytechnique, in collaboration with the FU School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University, offers the BS/MS Track in Engineering. This highly selective five-year program is entirely conducted in English and is designed for students with a strong interest in mathematics and science.

Program Structure

The program is divided into two main phases:

• Bachelor Phase (3 years): Focus on building a solid foundation in sciences while allowing exploration of non-scientific subjects. The School of Polytechnique emphasizes small class sizes with a very favorable student-to-faculty ratio.
• Master Phase (18 months): Students continue their studies at Columbia University, selecting from ten different master's programs in engineering, corresponding to their double major chosen during the Bachelor phase.
