Dual Major: Electrical Engineering and Physics

Under this plan, you'll earn a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in electrical engineering from Missouri S&T and a BS in physics from Missouri State.

Why dual-major in physics?

Adding the physics major is especially helpful for electrical engineers who want to work for:

  • Aerospace manufacturers.
  • Defense contractors.
  • Laser companies.
  • Medical centers.
  • Semiconductor manufacturers.
