Physics-Engineering Double Major at Johns Hopkins University


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Majors, Minors, and Concentrations

Goucher students can earn dual degrees in Physics and Engineering in partnership with the Whiting School of Engineering of the Johns Hopkins in one of the following disciplines: Electrical and Computer Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Civil Engineering.  The B.A. degree in Physics from Goucher and the B.S. Degree in Engineering from the Columbia University are gained at the end of the completion of both programs.

The requirements for Physics-Engineering double majors can only apply if a student intends to complete both majors. These requirements alone cannot apply to any other Physics majors with different concentrations. In the event that a student does not go through with the two majors in Physics and Engineering, and chooses to earn the Physics major only, then the student must satisfy the specific requirements for the elected concentration (above) before graduation.

To complete the Physics major in preparation for entry into the 3+2 Engineering program with JHU, students must take:

  • PHY 125 - General Physics I (4 Cr.)
  • PHY 126 - General Physics II (4 Cr.)
  • PHY 220 - Modern Physics (4 Cr.)
  • PHY 230 - Intermediate Physics Laboratory (3 Cr.)
  • PHY 280 - Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences (3 Cr.)
  • PHY 310 - Electronics/Instrumentation (3 Cr.)
  • CHE 111 - Principles of Chemistry I (3 Cr.)
  • CHE 112 - Principles of Chemistry I: Laboratory (1 Cr.)
  • CHE 151 - Principles of Chemistry II: Lecture (3 Cr.)
  • CHE 152 - Principles of Chemistry II: Laboratory (1 Cr.)
  • CS 116 - Introduction to Computer Science (4 Cr.)
  • MA 221 - Linear Algebra (4 Cr.)
  • MA 222 - Calculus III (4 Cr.)
  • MA 231 - Differential Equations with Applications (4 Cr.)
  • Two additional 300-level courses within the program.

Students should consult with their academic advisors to determine other courses that will best prepare them for their particular engineering field of interest. Additional courses listed above for the dual-degree program with Columbia University are appropriate.
