Offered collaboratively by the School of Engineering and the Department of Physics and Astronomy, the major in engineering physics combines an emphasis on the mastery of the fundamental principles of physics and basic mathematical techniques with the disciplined practicality of professional engineering. Students may focus on a particular area of interest, such as astrophysics, biophysics, elementary particle physics, magnetism and superconductivity, polymer physics, surface physics, and optics.

Sample Classes:

• Intro to Modern Physics
• Intermediate Mechanics
• Thermal Physics
• Advanced Experimental Physics
• Advanced Quantum Mechanics
