Wright college offers dynamic, high-quality engineering transfer pathways designed for Chicago high school students with an interest in computer science and engineering. Featuring small classes, talented instructors, comprehensive support, and opportunities both inside the classroom and beyond, these programs offer qualified students guaranteed admission to the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Armour College of Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
Program Benefits
Wright’s Engineering programs can prepare students for the following majors:
Illinois Tech (IIT)-Wright College
For students who are interested in transferring to the Illinois Insititute of Technology Armour College of Engineering, this program offers qualifying students guaranteed admission.
Wright/Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
For students who are interested in transferring to the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Engineering Pathways program offers qualifying students guaranteed admission.
Wright/Southern Illinois University at Carbondale College of Engineering
For students who are interested in transferring to Southern Illinois University at Carbondale College of Engineering, this program is a dual admissions pathway for qualified students.
Thanks in part to support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Wright College also offers a path for minority and underrepresented students looking to enter Engineering and Computer Science programs. The Bridges into Engineering & Computer Science program focuses on key transitions along students’ educational journeys from high school through community college and ultimately to a four-year institution. This program prepares students for the rigors of a degree in engineering and/or computer science.
Participants of the first Summer Bridge eliminated up to two years of remedial math and are thriving in Calculus.
