As an engineering physics student, you'll engage in research with professors at the forefront of transforming emerging science into innovative technologies. Through a curriculum specifically crafted to jumpstart your research career within a close academic community, you'll discover a nurturing atmosphere to follow an adaptable math and physics-focused program and produce an undergraduate thesis. The engineering physics program is perfect for students already considering graduate studies who desire the freedom to shape their undergraduate path toward that objective—while also equipping them for roles in high-tech startups that develop cutting-edge technologies.
Students select from three adaptable concentration areas: nanoengineering, plasma science and engineering, and scientific computing, which incorporate graduate-level classes and hands-on lab work. Nanoengineering students study physics, materials science, engineering mechanics, and electrical engineering to master the design, construction, and application of novel nanoscale devices and structures. Those in plasma science and engineering become part of one of the world's largest academic plasma and fusion communities, featuring collaborations across physics, electrical engineering, and nuclear engineering, along with access to world-class facilities.
Applicant must have high school record should demonstrate both rigor and breadth in the types of course work you pursue. A competitive academic record should show some of the most challenging advanced-level work offered at or through your school in as many areas as possible, while maintaining a strong GPA. The following chart shows the number of years that most admitted students studied in each subject area; English 4 years, Math 4 years, Social Studies 3-4 years, Science 3-4 years, Single Foreign Language 3-4 years and Additional Academic/Fine Arts 2 years. Applicant must have ACT score of 30 and overall SAT score of 1395.
