Physics and Engineering Curriculum

The curriculum is designed to prepare students for a diverse range of career options: graduate study in physics or astronomy, graduate study in physical sciences, graduate study in engineering, graduate study in physics/science education, industrial physics positions, or positions in science-related business fields. Opportunities for student research and internships in the science-related industry are also available. 

The study of physics and engineering requires a strong mathematics background, and the completion of the courses required for engineering physics degree guarantees the completion of a mathematics minor as well. (If you are majoring in Physical Science Grades 6-12, you will only be one course short of a mathematics minor). Computers are also of great importance to physics, and our majors are advised to take courses in computer programming languages, especially PYPHON, C, MATLAB, and FORTRAN.
