Two Majors, One Engineering Career
Start at a small college that knows your name, and finish as an engineer with two degrees.
Engineering Physics at Goshen College is built on the 3-2 engineering program: you study three years at Goshen and two at a partner engineering school, graduating with a Goshen B.A. and a B.S. in engineering. It’s a small-college path into fields like aerospace, electrical, mechanical, and renewable-energy engineering.
Be clear-eyed about the shape of it: after three years here, you spend two years at a partner school such as the University of Notre Dame, Case Western Reserve University, or Valparaiso University. That’s a real move, and you won’t plan it alone, your faculty help you map the path from your first year.

Built to Get You Through
Engineering is demanding, and a small college is a real advantage. Because of close faculty mentorship, you’re known by name and supported through the full 3-2 path, not left to figure it out alone. You’ll do hands-on research and internships from your first year, alongside students in other STEM majors.

What You’ll Study
You’ll build a strong foundation in physics and applied science, putting you at the forefront of science, technology, and industry. The program spans interests from biophysics and renewable energy, to quantum mechanics and robotics, and pairs technical depth with the interdisciplinary, intercultural learning Goshen is known for.
Certification for secondary education in physics or physical sciences is also available through the education department. View the complete program requirements in our catalog.

How the 3-2 Engineering Program Works
The 3-2 program combines a liberal arts foundation from Goshen with an engineering degree from a leading engineering school. You spend three years at Goshen and two at a partner school, so you finish with two degrees.
Goshen has formal 3-2 partnership agreements with:
- University of Notre Dame (South Bend, Ind.)
- Case School of Engineering at Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, Ohio)
- Valparaiso University (Valparaiso, Ind.)
Transferring to other engineering schools is possible and common, arranged on an individual basis with your advisor.

Paying for Goshen
It’s worth asking about early, and you won’t get silence. Scholarships make up a large part of Goshen financial-aid packages, which average almost $26,000 per student (not including work-study or loans).
Because the 3-2 path includes two years at a partner school, ask a financial aid counselor to walk through the full five-year picture with you. To see your own price after aid, run the net price calculator and talk with a real person in the financial aid office.
Common Questions About Engineering Physics Major
You spend three years at Goshen, then two at a partner engineering school, the University of Notre Dame, Case Western Reserve University, or Valparaiso University. Goshen grants your B.A. once you finish both schools’ requirements, so you graduate with two degrees. Transfer to other engineering schools is also possible on an individual basis.
The degree prepares you for careers in aerospace and electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, robotics, renewable energy, and industrial research, among others. The physics foundation is broad, so it also opens doors to graduate study and adjacent technical fields. Goshen graduates are employed, in grad school, or in service within a year at a high rate.
From your first year, you can conduct faculty-led research in renewable energy, material science, or mechanical systems, intern with local manufacturers, engineering firms, or research labs, present at regional and national conferences, and join interdisciplinary projects with other STEM students. These build real problem-solving, technical communication, and collaboration skills.
Scholarships are a large part of Goshen aid packages, which average almost $26,000 per student, not counting work-study or loans. Because the 3-2 path spans two schools, ask a financial aid counselor to walk through the full picture, and use the net price calculator on the financial aid page to see your real number.
Start your application at the Goshen College apply page, or request information first if you’d like to talk through fit and the 3-2 path before committing. You can also schedule a visit to meet physics faculty and see the campus. Admission to Goshen is the first step into the Engineering Physics major.
