About the Program

This program offers an ideal combination of basic and applied science. Students in the Cooperative (three-two) Physics-Engineering Program attend the college for three years pursuing a liberal arts curriculum in physics. After three years, students transfer to the engineering school of their choice and complete the requirements for an engineering degree in two more years. Cooperating engineering schools include Binghamton University and the University at Buffalo (both SUNY universities), and Clarkson University.
