Washington and Lee University

Our Graduates

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.
