Im a senior in high school and right now I have to make a decision between cooper union and stevens institute of technology.
Cooper: I will have to be sure that i want to major in engineering as opposed to physics if i go here since they only offer engineering. But, its cooper union so i have to give some weight to making this decision soon. Cooper is free
stevens: i can decide later if i want to major in engineering or physics. Stevens actually even has an engineering physics program. I was accepted into the scholars program which means I would be able to get a bachelors as well as a masters in four years at no extra cost. Are these kind of programs credible or is it just an easy way out that nobody will respect? Stevens costs money.
The bulk of my indecision i guess is as follows: I really enjoy physics, I am taking my third year of physics now and I want to keep learning physics. Thats not to say that I don't have an interest in engineering as well.
I understand that this is a relative issue that ultimately I need to resolve on my own, but i just wanted to see what people who have gone through this would have to say. What rationale lead you to major in physics as opposed to engineering or visa versa.
edit: cooper has a dual degree program as well
