Five Year BA/BS Program in Mathematics & Engineering with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
This program gives the graduate a BA degree in Mathematics from Russell Sage College and a BS in Engineering from Rensselaer. Due to the demanding nature of the program it is created for each student on an individual basis. Generally, students will complete the BA in Mathematics at Sage in about three years and finish the Engineering program at Rensselaer in the remaining two years. At Russell Sage, students complete the major in Mathematics, with possible course substitutions by advisement. For more information please contact the Program Coordinator, Dr. Tom Sweeney, at (518) 244-2486 or via e-mail at sweent@sage.edu.
