Why study physics engineering at BVU?

Partnership with WashU

As a physics engineering student, you will complete three or four years at BVU and two years at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. After successful completion of two years of full-time study at WashU, you will be awarded a bachelor’s degree from BVU’s School of Science, as well as a bachelor’s degree in engineering from WashU’s McKelvey School of Engineering. WashU students can also continue their education and earn their master’s degree in just one additional year. The experience you gain through a liberal arts education at BVU, followed by a research-based education at WashU, sets you up for success in the field of engineering. 

Networking

You’ll have networking and internship opportunities while engaging closely and building relationships with your cohort from both universities. The dual enrollment program increases your marketability!
