Programs
The Department of Physics & Engineering offers multiple degree programs:
B. S. in Physics
This program prepares students to work as quantitative problem solvers in jobs such as researcher, lab technician, or analyst. This program also provides the foundation for graduate work in physics, astronomy, and related fields.
Dual degree 3-2 Physics-Engineering
In this program, students spend 3 years at WCU earning a B.S. in Physics, then spend two years at one of our affiliate institutions to complete a bachelor's degree in an engineering field.
Combined BS Physics & MS in Quantum Science and Engineering
This program is a truly unique 3-2 dual degree program where students spend three years at WCU and two years at the University of Delaware, after which they will have a B.S. in Physics from WCU and an MS in the growing field of Quantum Science and Engineering (QSE) from the University of Delaware
Physics Minor
Enhance your understanding of the universe as well as your resume with a Minor in Physics—develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a deeper grasp of the fundamental laws that govern the natural world.
