Physics Programs
Physics—where innovation and understanding become a unified front.
Did you know that physicists developed the underlying technology for cell phones, computers, and tablets? They also created the image sensors used in cameras, magnetic storage in hard drives, the MRI—the list goes on, but you get the picture.
Physics (B.S.) with Concentration in Engineering
Engineering physics combines classes from civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering with physics courses to produce a hybrid program. This allows for strong hands-on, minds-on experiences and merges experimental skills of physics with engineering techniques. Your unique background in both physics and engineering will set you up for a successful and rewarding career.
