A Major in Engineering Physics is Now Available at Westminster College

Beginning this fall, Westminster College is pleased to announce the offering of a four-year engineering physics major.

Students in the engineering physics program are given a foundation in the core areas of physics, math, chemistry, computer science, materials science, and engineering. These courses prepare students for careers in areas such as: secondary school teaching, industrial research, general engineering, or other jobs that require technical problem-solving skills.

With the engineering physics major and additional graduate study, students can prepare for careers in basic research, teaching at the college or university level, medical physics, specialized engineering fields, and combination fields such as biophysics.

“Through the engineering physics program at Westminster, students will learn about both the scientist’s approach to understanding the world and the engineer’s approach to shaping the world,” said Craig Caylor, associate professor and program coordinator of physics and physics engineering. “Meanwhile, Westminster’s liberal arts foundation prepares students for an evolving workplace.”

Students can complete the engineering physics program entirely at Westminster, or students may choose to study at Westminster for three years, followed by the completion of a bachelors of science in any engineering field at an approved school.
