Students desiring an engineering degree can obtain a thorough background at Howard Payne in Chemistry, Calculus, and general calculus based Physics and should be confident and comfortable in their abilities to transfer on completion to an Engineering School.  This curriculum provides an excellent liberal arts preparation where students are encouraged to think critically, reason scientifically and grow spiritually in a Christian context.  Yet, these students will be well prepared to continue in Engineering whether in graduate school or the job market  .  In the Physical Science Department at Howard Payne we strive to graduate well-prepared scientists ready to serve as Christian role models in whatever related occupation they choose.
