<p>I’m vaguely aware of college joint programs, like Brown/RISD, Barnard/Columbia, Peabody/JH, and Columbia/Jyard, but I don’t know what the nature of the relationships is. Plus, I have no idea about other universities, so does anybody have a guide or a website that lists and describes joint programs? Or could somebody at least tell us about them on this thread? Thanks!</p>
<p>Reed an ca-ltech…i might do that one :)</p>
<p>Barnard and Barnard isn’t a joint-program, it’s an affiliation where the two universities share resources, you don’t get a joint degree.</p>
<p>I think there’s a Tufts/Berklee program. And MIT students can take classes at Harvard.</p>
<p>Reed being mentioned, <a href=“Reed College - Acalog ACMS™”>Reed College - Acalog ACMS™; (too much to include here) explains Reed’s joint programs with University of Washington, Caltech, Columbia, Rensselaer, Duke, Pacific Northwest College of Art and Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology</p>
<p>Sorry, I didn’t know joint program referred to something specifically. I meant any kind of affiliation or partnership, in which students of one college could take classes at another. But if you know about joint (dual) degree programs, then certainly join the discussion.
Vossron and Sheed, I never knew about those programs from Reed or, um, Reed itself. I’m still researching colleges and I’m really not a huge sci-person, but the change of surroundings from Oregon to CA or NYC sounds pretty neat.</p>
<p>Cross registration is a fairly common way to take classes at other schools. Reed, again as an example, has cross registration with 15 other private Oregon schools, where, given approval, students can take classes not offered at Reed. </p>
<p>From the Reed site: </p>
<p>“Reed College is a member of the Oregon Independent Colleges Association. With prior approval of the registrar’s office to cross-register, Reed students who are enrolled full time are eligible to register at a number of other independent colleges in Oregon for one course each semester in fall and spring, at no additional fee. These courses appear on the Reed transcript, but the grades are not included in calculating the Reed grade point average.”</p>
<p>Us peeps on the west love REED</p>
