  • 5-8 year program: 4 years at Eastern, 1-3 years at Villanova
  • Earn 2 degrees: BA in Mathematics from Eastern, MS in Engineering from Villanova

9 Engineering Tracks to Choose From

  • ​​Biochemical
  • Chemical
  • Cybersecurity
  • Electrical
  • Mechanical - Thermal Fluids
  • Mechanical - Dynamics/Controls
  • Mechanical - Mechanics of Materials
  • Sustainable (Watershed or Environmental)
  • Environmental & Water Resources

General Timeline

Year 1 & 2:

  • Only take classes from Eastern as a typical math major would
  • One exception - Engineering students must take General Chemistry I & II
  • Final decision on which track to pursue needed by Spring of Year 2

Year 3 & 4:

  • Dual-enrolled at both Eastern & Villanova, taking math courses at EU and undergraduate engineering courses at Villanova
  • Credits taken at Villanova count towards credits at EU (ie 9 credits at EU, 7 at Villanova make 16 credits total for EU)
  • Because of this, Villanova courses come at EU prices, and fall under EU financial aid*
  • Graduate from Eastern in May of Year 4

Year 5-8:

  • Full-time graduate student at Villanova

*Tuition & Financial Aid

Important Notes:

  • Students in the EU-Nova Engineering Fast Track are dual-enrolled at both Eastern & Villanova in their third and fourth years. 
  • Within the Fast Track, Villanova courses cost the same as EU courses, and fall under EU financial aid. Villanova undergraduate tuition is not charged to EU-VU engineering students provided that the student completes the MS from Villanova within 8 years total. 
  • If the student fails to complete the MS in 8 years, the student is responsible to repay the subsidized cost of those undergraduate courses taken at Villanova. View Villanova University's tuition rates (which are subject to change annually).
