Pomona College of California and Wesleyan University in Connecticut have joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in a plan for combined liberal arts and technological study which now includes fourteen liberal arts colleges. Under the arrangement, students of high academic standing may pursue a specially planned course for three years in any of the participating liberal arts colleges and then complete the requirements for a science, engineering, or city planning degree in two years at the Institute. Both a B.S. degree from the Institute and a B.A. degree from the liberal arts college are awarded on completion of the program. Other institutions participating in the combined plan include Amherst College of Massachusetts, Bowdoin College of Maine, Miami University of Ohio, Middlebury College of Vermont, Ohio Wesleyan University, Reed College of Oregon, Ripon College of Wisconsin, St. Lawrence University of New York, Washington and Jefferson College of Pennsylvania, College of William and Mary of Virginia, Williams College of Massachusetts, and the College of Wooster, Ohio.
