About half of all students who complete degrees in physics and engineering at Washington and Lee will enter directly into technical employment, while the remainder continue into graduate work--most often in a scientific field, but occasionally in other fields such as management or law. Several graduates have earned prestigious international fellowships such as the Fulbright and Watson Fellowship. One has even taken a spacewalk as an astronaut with NASA.
Graduates with a B.S. degree in one of our three majors have a wide range of options. Check out where some recent graduates went (below)... and a few alumni profiles.
