3-2 Engineering

Curious how the tallest building in the world was constructed and still stands? Interested in improving your community’s transportation system? Considering a career in engineering and excited by the world of physics? 

Gordon’s 3–2 Engineering Program combines the best aspects of the Christian liberal arts tradition with focused engineering instruction. You’ll be prepared as a competent, inventive and responsible contributor to tackle not just the technical challenges of this century but the greater, moral challenges as well.   

Why pursue 3-2 at Gordon? 

Our program allows your educational experience to be customized to fit your vocational goals. About half of Gordon’s physics/engineering students go straight into graduate work at nationally-ranked universities with all expenses paid. Many also go on to be hired by top organizations in the industry and lead highly successful careers.  

With our 3-2 program, you’ll spend three years as a physics major at Gordon and benefit from being immersed in a nationally ranked Christian community. Then, for your additional two years, you’ll attend an engineering institution of your choice and delve deeper into your specialty area, such as mechanical, electrical or civil engineering. In the end, you’ll hold two bachelor’s degrees—one in physics from Gordon and one in engineering from the school of your choice. 

What can Christians bring to engineering?  

With a Christ-centered focus on improving the world around them, there will always be a need for Christian engineers. Christians on mission can work to improve local community infrastructures through civil engineering and use biomedical engineering to explore and improve healthcare applications.
