Engineering Physics, B.S. in E.P.

Description

The Engineering Physics program, administered by the electrical and biomedical engineering department, leads to the bachelor of science in engineering physics degree. The program is designed for the student who desires a background in engineering science, based on a firm foundation of physics, as well as an introduction to electrical engineering. The program is also for students who would like to pursue graduate studies in physics or engineering.

Engineering Physics is not an ABET accredited program.

Transfer to the University of Nevada, Reno

Use the transfer agreement  and the degree planner (available by clicking  at the top right of this page) to build your plan for graduation with your advisor. Course substitutions not identified on the transfer agreement require UNR advisor approval.

If a major-to-major transfer agreement is not available for your transfer institution, please check the General Core agreement  if available. If neither is available, access established transfer course equivalencies to assist in your planning.

Admission Requirements

Admission requirements and procedures are available at http://www.unr.edu/admissions#requirements. Only students who are eligible to enroll in MATH 181  (as demonstrated through placement tests) may enter specific major programs within the College of Engineering. Others may enter the undeclared engineering program. Undeclared engineering students must be admissible to a specific major program within four regular semesters (fall and spring).
