It's all about flexibility!
The Engineering Physics Major couples a strong physics base with the flexibility to pursue a variety of possible applied subjects. We require a minimum of four courses that form a coherent group, but the major provides room to take up to eight courses in an area of your choice.
Shown below is a sample curriculum. We teach a number of courses within the department which would prepare you for a career in Laser and Optical Engineering, Semiconductor Engineering, or Medical Engineering. Other courses are available within the University to prepare you for a career in Architecture, Education, or Project Management. Come see us for examples of possible courses or bring us your ideas.
