  • Pre-Electrical Engineering Major

    Students interested in engineering, applied physics, or working in industrial laboratories have several options. They can major in physics, orienting their coursework toward working in industry; they can do graduate work in physics or engineering and then work in industry in applied physics or in an engineering position; or they can do a two-year pre-engineering program at Hamline. Because the courses for the two-year pre-engineering program are essentially the same as those for a physics major, students can easily shift from one program to the other should their directions change.

    Students interested in pursuing this option should follow this suggested course of study:

    First Year

    • Math 1170 - Calculus I
    • Physics 1230 - General Physics I
    • Math 1180 - Calculus II
