I’m currently taking University of Arizona. vital classes I never would have taken had I gone into a four-year engineering program.” Mark Pearson, B.S., Ph.D., Exceptional engineering education is often characterized by laboratory experience Imperial College of Science, but what about interdisciplinary exploration? As Ismail and many other students Technology and Medicine, point out, the Juniata physics department provides an efficient means of earning London. two degrees in just five years in a challenging setting where you’ll receive a well- rounded education. Plus, you won’t be alone. Norman Siems, B.S., Rensselaer “The 3-2 program gives students the chance to spend time in the small family-like physics Polytechnic Institute, M.S., Johns department and choose between universities like Penn State and Columbia to further Hopkins University, Ph.D., Cornell their education,” adds Steph Frith ’13. “Although daunting, it’s advantageous to do this.

How? They cite Juniata’s interdisciplinary, personalized and experiential departments/physics/faculty.html program as the secret behind their success. Our agreements with four distinguished engineering schools—Clarkson University, Columbia University, Washington University in St. Louis, and Penn State University— allow you to complete the engineering education you begin here. From Juniata, the possibilities are endless.

Student Opportunities

Physics and engineering students have the opportunity to research on campus with Juniata faculty or off campus at national labs like the Pacific Northwest National Laboratories in Hanford, Wash.; Jefferson Labs in Newport News, Va.; and the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Md. Propose a project that’s of interest to you and pursue it rigorously. Study for four years at Juniata and take advantage of great opportunities to study abroad in India, Australia, England, France, Japan, Germany and beyond. We have programs on every continent except Antarctica. Our nationally recognized Society of Physics Students Club produces one of Juniata’s most popular events—Physics Phun Night. Entertain the campus and Huntingdon community with engaging demonstrations.
