Physics B.A. - Concentration: Engineering Transfer
The Engineering Transfer concentration includes coursework specifically geared to students wishing to pursue an engineering degree. Students in this program typically transfer after three years to a school with an engineering program. Upon completion of an ABET-certified engineering degree (engineering technology degrees are excluded), the student may also be eligible for the ESU degree (contingent upon certain requirements). In addition, under our agreement with Penn State University, students in certain programs who meet additional requirements are guaranteed acceptance.
