Salem College, a women’s liberal arts institution in North Carolina, offers engineering courses through partnerships with nearby universities. While it does not have its own engineering program, students can pursue dual-degree options. Typically, students complete three years at Salem, focusing on foundational STEM courses, followed by two years at an affiliated engineering school to earn a Bachelor of Science in Engineering.
This collaborative approach provides women with a supportive environment initially, then transitions them to co-ed engineering programs. Popular partner schools include North Carolina State University and Washington University in St. Louis. Salem’s emphasis on leadership in STEM makes it a unique choice for aspiring female engineers.
