Physics leading to the 3+2 Engineering Program

Physics and engineering degree in five years? Yes, please. Don’t miss the opportunity to spend three years at Cortland taking all requirements for a degree in physics, then transfer to an engineering school for two years to complete the requirements for a degree in engineering. This 3+2 program fosters opportunity because it stresses the fundamentals of physics and engineering while making you extremely marketable to potential employers in both fields.
