Engineering physics is an applied science discipline that bridges engineering and physics. This versatile program serves as a comprehensive alternative to specialized engineering degrees, providing adaptable pathways for career advancement.
The curriculum builds a strong base in fundamental scientific concepts while equipping students with theoretical expertise for engineering applications. It caters equally to those aiming for industrial R&D roles or planning advanced studies in technical fields.
The program structure mirrors standard engineering coursework for the first two years, followed by upper-level physics courses comparable to a BS in Physics. Students specialize through technical electives in high-demand areas like applied physics, materials science, computer science, or digital electronics. The program includes hands-on, project-based training in advanced labs and seminars developed in collaboration with leading Massachusetts technology companies.
