Civil Engineering Accelerated BS/MS Pathway for Roger Williams University Students
Â鶹¹ÙÍø Dartmouth has partnered with Roger Williams University to develop a pathway for Roger Williams students to earn both a bachelor’s degree from RWU and a master’s degree in civil engineering from Â鶹¹ÙÍø Dartmouth in just five years. This accelerated pathway allows students to save time and money earning an advanced degree by earning credits toward a master's degree while completing their undergraduate degree.
