<p>I would like to add a comment to some of the remarks made above. Moving into an engineering program at a second school is a BIG transition. Students who start in the Engineering school already are accustomed to the kind of workload that is expected and we find here at Illinois Tech that transfer students expecting to complete the Engineering portion in 2 years can’t do it. It ends up being 2+3 (or 3+3!) unless there is a well-articulated program where students have started taking our courses before the third year.</p>
<p>As a physics professor, I would agree with the comment made by @Lakemom. A physics degree can open doors to engineering graduate school and LACs often have very good physics programs.</p>
