Structure Overview

A multidisciplinary and an international approach through a 5-year program: Ecole Polytechnique and Columbia Engineering propose a 5-year program with a Bachelor degree (3 years) at Ecole Polytechnique and a Master degree (2 years) at Columbia University through one of their nine Master of Engineering programs.

Students joining our program will benefit from a demanding and challenging multidisciplinary scientific curriculum focused on mathematics, computer science, economics and physics. They also attend classes in foreign languages, biology, chemistry, humanities and physical education.

BS Degree : Three Double Tracks

Ecole Polytechnique's Bachelor Program offers students the choice of three double tracks allowing them to customize their academic journey with a specialization in mathematics and either in economics, computer science or engineering and physical science.

MS Degree : Nine Master of Engineering programs

Columbia's Master Program offers students the choice of nine master programs according to the double track choosen during their bachelor degree.
