The Physics program at Hamline University has a long history of preparing students well for careers in many different fields of engineering. Students interested in a career, or furthering their education, in engineering have several options. Physics advisors assist each student in determining which path will best prepare them for their specific goals. Contact the Physics Department for more information.

B.S. in Physics

The Physics department highly recommends this path, which is intended to provide a general background that will be useful for students whether proceeding to graduate school in engineering or into industry. With assistance from their advisors, students are able to focus their course choices on their particular field of interest.

B.A. in Physics paired with another major 

While a B.S. degree is typically preferable, a well-chosen double major (such as mathematics or chemistry) can provide a solid foundation for a career in engineering.
