Your Future Success

Siena's physics program prepares students for a broad range of technical careers and its grads have many options. About one third pursue graduate work in physics, engineering, astronomy, and business. Grad schools include: Boston University, Dartmouth College, Duke, MIT, University of Washington and University of Maryland. A few become high school teachers, and the rest find employment in the technical workforce with job titles like: data science engineer, lab supervisor, test engineer, safety manager, production manager and research scientist.

Cooperative Engineering Programs

Students who are interested in engineering but who still want the benefit of a liberal arts education should consider our cooperative engineering programs. Siena offers both 3/2 and 4/1 engineering program options.
