Cooperative Programs

The Mary Baldwin College and University of Virginia Dual Degree Program in Engineering or Computer Science.

Mary Baldwin College students may elect to participate in a dual degree program in the various branches of engineering or in computer science offered by the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Virginia. Under this program, qualified students attend Mary Baldwin for three years and then, based on their academic performance are accepted into The University of Virginia for two or more years of study, leading to a bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics from MBC and a master’s degree in Engineering or Computer Science from UVa. Students who are interested in exploring this option should contact the coordinator Dr. John Ong, associate professor of mathematics, during their first semester at Mary Baldwin. In order to enroll in this program, they must maintain an overall, as well as a math and science GPA of B+ at the college, and must have completed the Calculus and Physics sequences during their freshmen year. For those interested in the computer science option, they must also sign up for CS 180 during their freshmen year. Students who are compatible for the program generally have a SAT score of 1100 and above.

NURSING - VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY

Students may complete three years at Mary Baldwin and transfer to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, for two additional years of study. They will receive a bachelor's degree in their field from Mary Baldwin and a master of science in nursing from Vanderbilt.

The MSN degree opens many opportunities for students in the rapidly growing healthcare field. It is an attractive option for students who wish to be involved in the various emerging aspects of advanced practice nursing such as nurse practitioner, nurse midwife, and health care management. Students considering this program should consult with Dr. Paul Deeble, assistant professor of biology, for details.

For required courses and other details see Vanderbilt Information.

PHYSICS AND GERMAN - WASHINGTON & LEE UNIVERSITY

Students may receive their bachelor's degree in physics or German by designing a major drawn from the appropriate courses at both Mary Baldwin and our consortium partner, Washington & Lee University in Lexington, VA.

For more information about the German major, contact Professor of German Dr. Stevens Garlick. Students interested in the Physics major should contact Dr. Peggy Perozzo, assistant professor of physics.
