Hi Nicolette, Great question, Federal Work Study positions are awarded through the Office of Student Financial Assistance once a student files the FAFSA.

For the dual enrollment for Architecture and Engineering, is it just civil engineering that can be chosen for the enrollment or can you pick any type of engineering to pair with Architecture?
Catholic University of America
Hi Isabella, Yes, for the 5 Year Dual Degree the engineering program is a Civil Engineering degree, with good reason, which you can read about here: https://architecture.catholic.edu/academics/undergraduate-programs/architecture-and-civil-engineering/index.html But as you will see when you explore the curriculum (https://architecture.catholic.edu/_media/undergradcurriculum20212022jointdegree.pdf), Civil Engineering students are exposed to a wide variety of engineering specialties as they work through the Civil Engineering curriculum.
