3 + 3 Triple Degree Program with Washington University

A 6-year triple-degree pathway: Hamline physics BA, WashU engineering BS, and master’s

Hamline is partnering with Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, to enable students to earn three degrees through a single, expedited program. You'll attend Hamline for the first three years (on average), where you'll earn your BA in physics. You'll then attend WashU for the next three years, earning first a BS and later a master's degree in engineering. 

You'll get the best that both universities offer:

  • At Hamline, you'll have access to specialized equipment — including our state-of-the-art environmental scanning electron microscope — and opportunities for collaborative research with faculty, helping you explore which engineering field to pursue
  • At Washington University, you'll benefit from the resources and reputation of a world-class, nationally recognized engineering program
  • By studying in both the Twin Cities and St. Louis, you’ll broaden your internship opportunities and expand your professional networks
