Students can combine this major with a business minor, pursue education, enter high-tech industry or continue for a degree in engineering, materials science, surface science, and related fields. Students can spend three to four years at Muhlenberg and then transfer to an affiliated engineering school to receive a Muhlenberg B.S. degree and a second B.S. from the affiliated school. This interdisciplinary major is administered in the Physics Department. While major requirements are also listed within the Physics section of this catalog, changes in these requirements are the responsibility of the Science Division. Two courses numbered 300 or higher that continue the study in one or both of the chosen disciplines.
Students have the option of expanding their focus by rostering additional courses in the sciences.
