Tuition is Tuition and fees are charged by Oglethorpe University for the first three years of the program, with separate costs applying at the partner engineering school for the final two years..

Students complete three years of foundational coursework in physics, mathematics, and the liberal arts at Oglethorpe University, engaging in hands-on lab work and small-class instruction. They then transfer to a partner engineering school to earn a specialized engineering degree. The program combines technical training with broad academic development over five years. Graduates receive two degrees: a Bachelor of Science in Physics from Oglethorpe and an engineering baccalaureate from a partner institution.

Focus areas include aerospace engineering, biomedical engineering, chemical and biomolecular engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering.

Students complete 90 credit hours at Oglethorpe University, including physics, mathematics, and liberal arts courses, before transferring to a partner engineering school to complete the remaining requirements for an engineering degree. The total program spans five years and results in two degrees.

Graduates enter technical roles in engineering fields such as aerospace, civil, mechanical, or electrical engineering, or pursue advanced study in science and engineering.

Applicants must have strong preparation in mathematics and science. They must consult with an Oglethorpe adviser early to meet partner school entrance requirements. Required documents include transcripts and standardized test scores, as specified by the partner engineering school.

The programme totals about 120 credit hours. On-campus, full-time, five-year duration. For international students, tuition is well above the median for US programmes. The institution admits about 60% of applicants.

Critical thinking, discussion, research, and practical experience shape the undergraduate curriculum at Oglethorpe. Its Core curriculum challenges students across disciplines, while small classes support close work with professors. Students can learn through laboratories, internships, and self-directed research, including biology projects that build laboratory skills. The university prepares graduates for careers and further study, with alumni working as artists, healthcare professionals, business leaders, advocates, and community leaders.

For almost 200 years, Oglethorpe graduates have contributed to Atlanta and communities beyond Georgia. The university's historic campus sits minutes from internships and cultural experiences across the metropolitan area. Atlanta provides a setting for students to connect classroom learning with professional interests, while campus life includes 16 NCAA Division III athletic teams, performance opportunities, student organizations, and career development.

International students join a close-knit community where faculty know and support students personally. Nearly 60% of students identify as students of color, and the university says all viewpoints and identities are respected. Mental health and student success services provide additional support. Merit scholarships are available, and the Flagship 50 program may make tuition affordable for academically qualified students. New first-year and transfer students attend Orientation and Welcome Weekend before classes begin.
