4 2 Cooperative Program with Penn State

BS Physics/ Masters in Engineering Science

Lock Haven University, Geology & Physics Department

Upon completion of this program the student receives the following degrees.

BS Physics from Lock Haven University
(received after completing 120 credit hours of program requirements at Lock Haven)
MS in Engineering Sciences and Mechanics from Penn State
(received after completing the Masters Program at Penn State - typically 2 years)

In this program the student first receives a BS in Physics from Lock Haven. After that, the student can apply to the 2 year Penn State Engineering Science Masters Program.

Students applying for the Masters Program with a high GPA are eligible to recieve tuition for the Masters Program.

Students can transfer up to 6 credit hours of 400 level physics courses (with a grade of "B" or higher) taken at Lock Haven to be applied towards graduate credit at Penn State. (If credits are appliled to the Penn State graduate program, they cannot be applied towards the Lock Haven degree.)

Students can transfer up to 3 credit hours of summer independent study done at the Penn State Engineering Science & Mechanics Department. Stipends are available for the summer research.

Students with a GPA above 3.4 are considered favorably for a graduate assistantship. Students with a GPA above 3.0, and who carry out summer research at the Penn State Engineering Science & Mechanics Department, will also be considered favorably for an assistantship.
