Careers in engineering include aeronautics electrical, electronic and computer engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and environmental and civil engineering. Southern Oregon University offers a preprofessional program in engineering designed in cooperation with Oregon State University. The program provides coursework necessary for admission as a junior into OSU's professional program. Engineering is generally a five-year program. A student typically spends three years at SOU before transferring to Oregon State for the final two years of the BS program in engineering. Students may also be interested in exploring the applied physics and/or the engineering-physics dual-degree options. Advising for all of these programs is through the Department of Physics.
Each of the ten engineering degree programs at Oregon State University has specific course requirements to be met before a student is admitted into a professional program as a junior. Since these requirements are quite different from degree programs at SOU and are continually being revised, students should immediately contact the engineering advisor (in physics) for detailed information about the required curriculum.
