Overview

In this Physics and Engineering degree at Loyola University Chicago, a student can earn two baccalaureate degrees: a Bachelor of Science in Physics from Loyola University Chicago and a Bachelor in Engineering from an affiliated engineering school.

Key Features

Typically, three years of study in the social sciences, humanities, mathematics and physical sciences at Loyola are required, followed by two years of concentrated engineering studies at the school of engineering.

Loyola University Chicago has formal affiliations with Washington University in St. Louis, Columbia University in New York City, and Notre Dame University in South Bend, Indiana.

Students can also choose other schools that suit their interest to complete the engineering degree. Many of the students have completed their engineering degrees at other universities such as University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Illinois at Chicago, Northwestern University, University of Michigan, and Iowa State University to complete their engineering studies.

Using as starting point the outstanding education in the Jesuit tradition offered by Loyola, which emphasizes breadth and depth of training in the liberal arts, humanities, and social sciences, upon completion of this dual degree program students will:

Gain foundational understanding of physics, a fundamental science that has broad application in existing and emerging technologies;

Acquire the intermediate level of mathematical tools needed to effectively address physics and engineering problems;

Possess an understanding of the fundamental engineering fields, and the ability to apply their combined Physics/Engineering knowledge to solve real world problems in the engineering field of their choosing (mechanical, chemical, biomedical, electrical, civil industrial, computer, systems, environmental, and financial–engineering);

Gain an understanding and appreciation of interdisciplinary approach in the physical and engineering sciences.
