Mechanical Engineering, B.S. (STLCC 2+SLU)
This program plan is part of the formal 2+SLU transfer agreement between St. Louis Community College and Saint Louis University.
Students in this program will satisfy the degree requirements published in the 2023-2024 academic catalog at St. Louis Community College and the 2024-2025 academic catalog at SLU. Students must complete all courses and transfer to SLU by the Fall 2027 semester.
Students who plan to transfer to SLU after Fall 2027 should contact a transfer admission counselor to explore options.
Students who have been following a program plan from a previous year's academic catalog can reference their older program plan version at https://catalog.slu.edu/previous-catalogs/.
For additional information see the catalog entry for:
- Students must complete all the courses outlined on the program plan unless an exception is approved by SLU.
- Students must complete an application for admission.
- Students may be subject to admission review under circumstances outlined in the admission policies.
- Students must present a 2.70 cumulative GPA at the time of transfer to SLU.
- This program plan is structured for a fall semester start at SLU and will take five semesters to complete. Students interested in starting the spring semester should contact SLU to explore this option.
Program Plans provide a guided pathway for students to earn an associate degree at their home institution and a bachelor's degree at Saint Louis University. Students may change the sequence in which they complete courses at their home institution. Students who complete a course that is not part of this Program Plan are encouraged to contact SLU to see if the course could be substituted.
