Dual Degree in Engineering
Our Cooperative Engineering programs offer five pathways to enter into an engineering career.
Traditional 4-Year B.S. in Physics
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Physics at Longwood University will complete all general physics requirements. The curriculum includes courses such as:
- Quantum Mechanics
- Advanced Physics Lab II
- Two upper-level physics electives
B.S. in Physics with an Engineering Physics Concentration
For students interested in combining physics with engineering, this concentration includes:
- All general physics requirements
- Intro to Algorithmic Design I & II
- Senior Capstone I & II
- AC/DC Circuits
- A physics elective
- An engineering elective
B.S. in Physics with Graduate Studies at VCU (M.S.)
This pathway allows students to transition into graduate school by completing:
- General physics requirements
- Two 500-level online engineering courses during their senior year through Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU)
Minimum GPA Requirement: 3.0
Dual Degree Program with Old Dominion University (ODU)
In this program, students earn two degrees: a B.S. in Physics from Longwood University and a B.S. in Engineering from ODU. Requirements include:
- General physics requirements
- Two upper-level physics electives
- 7 credits of engineering electives at ODU
Minimum GPA Requirement: 2.5
Cooperative Academic Agreement with the University of Virginia (UVA)
This agreement results in a B.S. in Physics from Longwood University and an M.S. in Engineering from UVA. Students must complete:
- General physics requirements
- Two upper-level physics electives
- 7 credits of engineering electives from UVA
Minimum GPA Requirement: 3.25
