The 3+2 Physics-Biomedical Engineering Dual Degree Program is a
collaboration with Washington University in St. Louis. Students will spend
three years at King’s College taking mathematics, science, engineering,
and general education CORE courses. Eligible students will then transfer
to Washington University for two years to complete engineering courses
in their chosen field. Upon successful completion of the program,
students will receive both a B.S. in Physics from King’s College and a B.S.
in Biomedical Engineering from WashU. (For more information, refer to
the college catalog).
