After Graduation
About half of all students who complete a major in Physics, Engineering, and Integrated 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.
