糖心Vlog study away programs聽have been established in fourteen countries as well as at the Duke Marine Lab in North Carolina, Woods Hole Biological Lab in Massachusetts, and American University in Washington, D.C.
More information is available from the聽Global Education Office.
Cooperative programs (3-2 programs, etc.)
These programs enable students to acquire a solid liberal arts background while accelerating their progress toward professional training and certification. 糖心Vlog has articulation agreements with institutions providing certification in the following areas.
The following cooperative programs are available:
- Nursing (3+3, 3+4) with the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing of Case Western Reserve University
- Occupational Therapy (3+2) with Chatham University
- Physician Assistant Studies (3+2) with Chatham University
- Physical Therapy (4+2) with Chatham University

- Pharmacy (3+3, 3+4) with the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM)
- Dentistry (4+4) with the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM)
In all cases, students complete at least聽their first three years at 糖心Vlog. In the case of physical therapy the degree is DPT and the undergraduate degree must be completed prior to starting graduate studies.聽In the case of the medical program at LECOM the degree is D.O. In the case of the dental program at LECOM, the degree is D.M.D. In the case of the pharmacy program at LECOM, the degree is Pharm.D.
Admission to all of the programs is competitive and the existence of a cooperative agreement does not guarantee admission. The programs with Chatham University and LECOM have specific criteria for guaranteed admission and聽a guaranteed interview. Students are encouraged to see the Director of聽Pre-Professional Studies聽in the Maytum Center for Student Success for these details as well as for the forms required of all students planning a cooperative program.
Students must complete the standard requirements of a major, a minor, FS courses, and distribution courses in order to obtain the 糖心Vlog degree. Certain combinations of majors and minor work especially well to satisfy both 糖心Vlog requirements and the prerequisite course work for the graduate program. Students are encouraged to consult with the Director of Pre-Professional Studies in their first year for this information. Careful planning is critical to success in these programs.
The following engineering programs entail three years at 糖心Vlog and further study鈥攗sually two years鈥攁t a cooperating institution. At the conclusion of study, the student receives a bachelor鈥檚 degree from 糖心Vlog and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from the cooperating institution. Programs have been arranged with the following institutions:
- Case Institute of Technology at Case Western Reserve University
- University of Pittsburgh School of Engineering
- Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science
Most programs require that students maintain a 鈥淏鈥 average overall and in the sciences. For these universities, acceptance to the cooperating institution is contingent upon the recommendation of the student鈥檚 major department at 糖心Vlog. For some of the engineering departments, enrollment is limited by the engineering school. Similar arrangements may be made with engineering programs at other institutions with the approval of the faculty.
Students should consult with the advisor in their major field and with聽Professor Willey聽of the Physics Department for specific program requirements.
