As of fall 2024, St. Francis College (SFC) is partnered with Manhattan University (MU) to provide a continuous program for a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, taken across two institutions. Program highlights are as follows:
- Students enrolling in the program at SFC should declare an Associates in Liberal Arts as their major and should complete all the courses listed below.
- To continue at MU, SFC students must earn a grade of C (2.0) or better in all chemistry, physics and math courses, and have an overall GPA of 2.5 or better.
- Once SFC students complete all the courses, they will transfer to MU to complete their B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. MU will accept 60 of the credits taken at SFC (See Appendix A below). St. Francis College students will matriculate into Manhattan University with junior standing.
- The application process from SFC to MU will be simplified for Chemical Engineering pathway candidates: the application fee, essay, letters of recommendation and enrollment deposit will be waived.
- Students admitted to MU from SFC who have earned a 3.0 cumulative GPA or higher will be automatically considered for merit-based scholarships. Students must enroll at MU as full-time, degree-seeking students and maintain a 3.0 GPA to renew their scholarship. The scholarship is renewable for up to two years or four semesters (fall and spring) of full-time coursework in a Bachelor’s Degree program. Scholarships cannot be applied towards housing, fees, summer session, or graduate tuition. St. Francis College students may also be eligible for state and federal aid and are encouraged to submit the FAFSA as soon as it becomes available.
