Engineering

At Colgate, aspiring engineers have options for their course of study, and benefit from a well-rounded liberal arts curriculum.

3-2 Plan

Spend three years at Colgate and two at an engineering school, earning bachelor’s degrees from both institutions. Participants in this program may also be eligible to continue study for a master of science (MS) degree. Sometimes this may be completed in as little as one additional year after earning the bachelor's degree in engineering. Students pursuing the 3-2 track work closely with a pre-engineering advisor on course selection and career plans.

Physics Major

A dynamic physics program supports students looking to venture into the field of engineering after graduation. Students can propose experiments for microgravity with NASA, design a trebuchet, and attend conferences of the American Physical Society (APS) and American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT).
