2023-2024 Undergraduate Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Physics Major BS, Engineering Specialization
|
|
The Physics BS, engineering specialization, prepares students for careers in applied physics and engineering through participation in a physics/engineering dual degree pathway. The Department of Physics offers a dual degree pathway that allows students to begin their studies at CWU and, after completing a specified curriculum, transfer to an engineering college at a partner institution where they complete a degree in engineering. When the engineering degree is completed, the students receive a second bachelor’s degree from CWU. The total length of time for both degrees is expected to be about five years, with approximately three years at CWU (dating from enrollment in MATH 172) and approximately two years at the engineering institution. At CWU, students must complete a minimum of 90 credits, including all general education requirements.
