The Department of Physics offers a preprofessional engineering program equivalent to the program at Oregon State University. Students completing this program typically apply for admission to the professional engineering program (junior standing) at Oregon State University in agricultural, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, industrial, mechanical, or nuclear engineering.

The engineering program is part of the Department of Chemistry, Physics, Materials, and Engineering. Engineering graduates enter such fields as aeronautical, chemical, computer, electrical, electronic, environmental, mechanical, and civil engineering. Southern Oregon University offers a preprofessional program in engineering and wood science and technology that provides the necessary coursework for admission as a junior into professional engineering programs. Students typically spend three years at SOU before transferring to engineering programs. Students may also be interested in exploring the applied physics or the physics-engineering dual degree options. Advising for all of these programs is handled by the Physics Department, which also offers an engineering-physics option.

Requirements for Engineering

Each engineering degree program has specific course requirements students must meet before being admitted to the professional program. Therefore, students should immediately contact the engineering coordinator for details about the required curriculum.
