Course Info

Summary

Physics or engineering? Both! Our binary engineering program is an accelerated track to complete two STEM bachelor degrees in an average of five years: a bachelor of arts in physics from Duquesne University and a bachelor of science in an engineering major from one of our partners: the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) or Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). This program is recommended for candidates who intend to pursue an engineering degree and wish to acquire a physics background in addition. Or for candidates who wish to major in physics but are considering a career in engineering. If you love physics but feel called to engineering, this program maybe for you.

The 3+2 model. Years 1, 2 and 3 are spent at Duquesne University for a minimum of 102 credits, completing the physics requirements. At the end of year 3 students formally transfer to the partner university to complete the engineering requirements. While this is styled a 3+2 program, the second phase may be shorter or longer, depending on the engineering major, but two years is typical. Both degrees are received simultaneously at the end of the second phase of the program. Completion of both degrees in around five years is possible because physics and engineering have a great deal of content in common. There is close academic advisement throughout the duration of the program.
