Hamline partners with Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, offering students the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Arts in physics from Hamline and a Bachelor of Science in engineering from Washington University. Attend Hamline for the first three years (on average), and then attend Washington University for just two more years.

Students in University Honors are required to excel in four areas, spanning the curricular and co-curricular realms: academic excellence, undergraduate research, contributions to community and development as a lifelong learner. Students write their own honors proposals, laying out what they plan to do in each of the four areas, reflect on all aspects of their honors achievements, participate in University Honors events and present their honors achievements at a capstone presentation before graduation.

Hamline is a member of the Associated College of the Twin Cities (ACTC). Through this consortium, Hamline degree-seeking undergraduate students may register for courses at the other ACTC schools: Augsburg, Macalester, St. Catherine,and St. Thomas. One ACTC course per semester is allowed. Some program exclusions apply.

Internships are a great way to test career interests, build professional skills, earn credit and fulfill Hamline’s Liberal Education as Practice (LEAP) requirement. Students are encouraged to participate in two internships over the course of their time at Hamline: An exploratory, entry-level internship as early as their sophomore year and another internship to further career development in their junior or senior year. The Career Development Center aids in exploring and securing internship opportunities.
