Bachelor of Arts in Engineering (STU and UND pathway)

The Pre-Engineering program at St. Thomas University is a partnership between STU and the University of North Dakota. Students take courses on the STU campus and online with UND to complete this bachelor’s degree program.

Program Overview

The Pre-Engineering pathway at STU allows students the best of both worlds. Program candidates have the advantages of an on-campus experience at a more personal college, but can enjoy the resources available at a top-tier engineering college, University of North Dakota. The pathway is designed to offer preparation for four major areas of engineering taught through UND: Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, and Chemical.

Career Landscape

STU’s Pre-Engineering graduates enjoy one of the most in-demand and high-impact career landscapes out there. Graduates step into a world where innovation meets real-world problem solving, with job prospects that span industries—from sustainable energy and tech startups to biomedical devices and global infrastructure. With a median salary around $100,000 and growing demand across fields, engineering grads are not only well-paid but also deeply influential, designing the systems and solutions that shape our future. Whether you are building smart cities, launching satellites, or creating the next breakthrough app, an engineering BA gives you the creative and technical toolkit to lead the way.

In the Classroom

In this unique dual-institution program, your classroom experience combines the best of both worlds: hands-on, community-oriented learning at St. Thomas University and cutting-edge, flexible engineering instruction through the University of North Dakota (UND).

At STU, you will take your core courses in-person, surrounded by a close-knit campus environment where professors know your name and class sizes are small. Expect discussions, group projects, and plenty of access to faculty mentorship. These foundational classes in math, physics, writing, and liberal arts build your critical thinking and communication skills—essentials for any engineer.

Meanwhile, your engineering-specific courses will be taken online through the University of North Dakota, a nationally respected leader in distance engineering education. UND’s online courses are built for engagement, not isolation: they feature recorded lectures from top faculty, interactive simulations, and collaborative projects with fellow online students.

Together, this hybrid format means you are not just learning how to be an engineer—you are learning how to be an adaptable, well-rounded problem solver in a world that increasingly blends in-person and digital collaboration.
