Academic college: College of Organizational, Computational, and Information Sciences. This five-year dual degree program offers high-achieving female students a pathway to an Ivy League education, allowing them to earn two bachelor's degrees: a Bachelor of Science (BS) from Simmons University and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) from Columbia University in New York. The program is STEM-classified, making graduates eligible for up to 3 years of Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the USA. The first three years are spent at Simmons, focusing on foundational science and mathematics, followed by two years at Columbia University specializing in an engineering discipline.

Career options for graduates of this dual degree program are excellent and highly dependent on the chosen engineering specialization at Columbia University. The combination of a strong science foundation from Simmons and an engineering degree from an Ivy League institution like Columbia opens doors to a wide range of advanced roles in research and development, design, technology, and management across various engineering industries. The STEM classification allows for extended OPT in the USA, enhancing career prospects.

Simmons University, based in Boston (regularly voted the USA's #1 student city), offers a women-centered undergraduate experience. All students benefit from practical, career-related experience through internships, clinical placements, research projects, or independent study. This 3+2 program provides a unique pathway for female students to gain a strong science foundation in a supportive environment and then pursue an engineering degree at Columbia University, leveraging the strengths of both institutions.
