The International Engineering Program
Thank you for showing interest in the International Engineering Program (IEP) at the University of Rhode Island! The IEP is the nation's most distinctive plan for global preparation of engineers. The Program leads the student simultaneously to two degrees: a B.S. in engineering and a B.A. in German, French, Spanish or a minor in Chinese and Asian Studies.
The IEP student studies a foreign language and culture each semester along with an engineering curriculum. In the fourth year of the five-year program the student goes abroad; the first semester spent taking language, culture and engineering courses in the host language, and the second semester as an intern with a reputable engineering firm. The internship is paid!
Because of the rapid expansion of global business, IEP graduates are in high demand. The program boasts close to a 100% job placement rate after graduating.
