Engineering Physics Specialization

Engineering Physics has long been recognized as a valuable academic program and it is well respected throughout the scientific and engineering communities. Combining the fundamentals from both fields guarantees that a graduate is well prepared for the challenges of the real world. The B.S. degree is granted in physics with the awarding of the certificate of specialization in Engineering Physics by the College of Science.

Course requirements for the Engineering Physics specialization curriculum include the required core courses for the B.S. in Physics, at least one 3xx/4xx physics course, and a minimum of 15 hours of upper level (300 – 400) courses in any engineering field. It is not required that all 15 hours be taken in a single engineering discipline. Prerequisite courses may be required for many of the upper-level engineering courses. The 15 hours of upper-level engineering courses and the one upper-level physics course replaces the 18 hours of Science Electives in the standard physics program of study so that the total number of hours in the degree program is essentially unchanged. The engineering courses must be approved by the Physics Department and the appropriate Engineering Department and included on the student’s Program of Study.
