College of Natural and Social Sciences
Physics and Astronomy
The 3+2 Engineering Foundations dual degree program is structured so students who spend three years in the dual-degree program at the University of Nebraska at Kearney and two years in the College of Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will be eligible to attain a bachelor’s degree in Physics from UNK and a bachelor’s degree in Engineering from UNL.
A strong understanding of physics forms the backbone of a solid engineering education, and the dual degree program addresses this need. While at UNK you will earn a bachelor's degree in Physics while also gaining a strong background in engineering. Students will take the recommended general courses in physics, chemistry and math before transferring to UNL or any ABET-accredited engineering school. A student can then specialize in a wide variety of engineering fields such as civil, electrical, mechanical, chemical or other intensive areas.
The schedule is a guideline for progress toward a Physics Comprehensive - Engineering Emphasis, Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Nebraska at Kearney based on the current academic calendar. Consult with your academic advisor.
*SPCH 154, 300 or 370 recommended.
Students must take 17 credit hours of engineering classes at 300 level or above from an ABET (Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology) accredited university.
