Students attracted to a Christian liberal arts curriculum who are also seriously considering an engineering career may choose to spend three years at Gordon and then apply to transfer to an engineering school for two more years. Gordon College has a formal agreement with the Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles (this agreement does not guarantee admission); however, students may apply to transfer to any accredited engineering institution to complete this program. The student will earn bachelor’s degrees from both Gordon and the engineering school. In addition to Gordon’s Core Curriculum, the following courses should be taken at Gordon:
