Description

This program in the Physics Department is designed for students wishing to continue in an engineering discipline. The student spends three years at Cortland taking all requirements for the degree in physics, then transfers to an engineering school for two years to complete the requirements for a degree in engineering. In order to complete the Cortland degree, the student must successfully transfer 30 credits of engineering coursework, for which there are no Cortland equivalents, from an approved school and program. Students should consult with their advisor on proper courses for specific engineering programs they may pursue. Schools that our students have attended include:
