Program information

MVCC's Engineering Science AS degree program is a first choice for aspiring engineers. The program's high academic standards give students the preparation they need to transfer to the college of their choice and succeed as an engineer, all at a great price. Students who complete the program receive an associate degree that allows them to transfer as juniors into a variety of bachelor's degree programs, including civil, mechanical, chemical, electrical, aerospace, petroleum, industrial, and nuclear engineering. We schedule several college visits per year to help students decide on their next step, and we offer assistance with resumes, letters of recommendation, and transfer applications. Many MVCC students gain excellent experience through summer internships at locations around the state, including Cornell University, Clarkson University, the College of Nanoscale Science & Engineering, and Rome Labs. There also are a variety of scholarships available to students from MVCC's Engineering Science program.
