Pace University offers Chemistry majors the option of earning two degrees, a B.S. in Chemistry at Pace University and a B.E. at either Manhattan College or Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, School of Engineering. Both of these joint programs involve five years of education: three years of study at Pace and two years of study at the other institution, including summer coursework. Application for transfer is made by the student during the third year at Pace.

Note that Pace students generally follow the standard BS in Chemistry program for required University Core and major courses but with appropriate modifications in required major electives and for required engineering courses to be transferred from RPI or Manhattan College. 

Students interested in any of these joint programs should meet with a Pace Chemistry Department advisor for full details.
