Two Degrees – Two Schools – One Program

• The EDDP is a 5-year program with an integrated curriculum (Butler
Major and Engineering Major)
• Students do not transfer mid-program, it is NOT a 3-2 program
• Students are enrolled at both universities for the duration of the program
• Most engineering courses are taught at Butler for the first three years of the program with courses taken at both campuses (a five-mile commute) during the last two years
• Results in TWO degrees: one from Butler University and one from
Purdue University
• It is okay to be undecided on a major at the start of the program (for
~2 to 3 semesters)
Two Degrees – Two Schools – One Program

• Internships are an important part of the educational experience, and at least one internship is required
• EDDP provides a diverse educational experiences leading to a wide range of careers opportunities with a highly successful placement rate for graduates
