Guaranteed Transfer Pathway
Transfer as a junior to University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Illinois Institute of Technology, and other top engineering schools.
Wright College offers world-class engineering and computer science courses that help students earn an associate in engineering degree and then move on to top engineering programs at four-year universities through guaranteed admission transfer pathways.
The future leaders of the field start their studies at Wright and end up working at places like Google, Microsoft, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, 3M, and more.
If you have the desire to work in engineering or computer science, Wright has the high-quality classes, intentional support, and institutional connections to help you grow here and go anywhere.
2023 Example of Excelencia Winner
The Wright College Engineering Pathways Program has been named a 2023 Example of Excelencia for its intentional, culturally relevant, evidence-based practices tailored to Latinx students and their communities.
