College of Saint Mary (CSM) and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Engineering and Technology (COET) initiated a groundbreaking collaborative "2+3" engineering program, one that offers degrees in the following four disciplines offered at the Peter Kiewit Institute for Information Science, Technology and Engineering located on the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) south campus:
 
 - Architectural Engineering (5-year program) 
 - Civil Engineering (4-year program) 
 - Computer Engineering (4-year program) 
 - Electronics Engineering (4-year program) 

This outstanding program allows a student to take courses at College of Saint Mary during her first two years of the program. The final three years (four years in architectural engineering) of the program focus on engineering analysis and design courses that are offered by the COET and specifically required for entry into the engineering profession. 

Graduates of the program will earn two college degrees, a Bachelor's degree in Science or Mathematics from College of Saint Mary, and a Bachelor's degree in Engineering - or a Master's for those in Architectural Engineering - from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. 

By starting the program at CSM, you'll begin your college-level engineering education in a safe, friendly environment that emphasizes your academic, personal, and spiritual development on a daily basis. Moreover, the program is designed to make your third-year transition to the University of Nebraska a completely seamless experience. 

University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Engineering and Technology 
In 1995, the Peter Kiewit Institute was formed to better meet the changing needs of students and local industry. The Institute brings together the UNL College of Engineering and Technology, the UNO College of Information Science and Technology, and local industry. Its goal is to merge the cultures of higher education and business to create an ideal learning environment for Nebraska's information science professionals for the next century.
