Great Falls College MSU hosts engineering information sessions

Great Falls—Great Falls College MSU will host two information sessions on Tuesday, October 10 for high school students, their parents and community members to learn about the 1+3 Engineering transfer program.

The 1+3 Engineering transfer program is a partnership between Great Falls College MSU and Montana State University Bozeman where students can earn the first year of engineering credits from Great Falls College MSU and then transfer those credits to Montana State University Bozeman to complete the final three years of their engineering degree.

In the morning, local and regional high school students will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from MSU Bozeman’s College of Engineering, Great Falls College MSU and local engineers who will present and answer questions about the engineering programs.

Then at 5:30 p.m., in Heritage Hall, Montana State University and Great Falls College will provide information on engineering opportunities available, followed by a question and answer period. All prospective students, their parents and community members are invited to attend and learn more about the engineering profession, MSU Bozeman’s College of Engineering and the 1+3 Engineering transfer program available at Great Falls College MSU.

The success of the 1+3 Engineering transfer program has opened the door for students to begin their pursuit of any of the engineering degrees offered at MSU Bozeman here at Great Falls College. Those degrees include:
• Biological Engineering
• Chemical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Computer Engineering
• Construction Engineering Technology
• Electrical Engineering
• Industrial and Management Systems Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering

“This is a great opportunity for high school students, or any member of the community, to learn about how they can start and pursue their education and career in engineering,” said Leanne Frost, Director of General Studies at Great Falls College MSU.

Through the generosity of businesses and individuals in the community, Great Falls College MSU offers numerous scholarship opportunities specifically for students who are pursuing their engineering degree through the 1+3 transfer program.
