Pre-Engineering Program
As a student in the pre-engineering program at Hastings College, you have options!
Most students spend four years at Hastings earning a bachelor’s degree in physics — which gives you the expertise and background you need to be a successful engineer. After graduation, students then pursue a two-year masters of engineering degree at a university of their choosing — and many students get paid to complete their masters!
This combination allows you to explore engineering areas in smaller classes with more faculty support at Hastings College while completing hands-on projects at to uncover your strengths. Our faculty want you to succeed!
You’ll find Hastings grads all over the country — and world — in places like:
