Degree Concentrations

Accreditation

The Engineering Physics Bachelor of Science program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Engineering, General Engineering, Engineering Physics, Engineering Science, and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Overview

Welcome to the Engineering Physics program at the University of Kansas. Students who pursue a degree in Engineering Physics from KU often find themselves in careers that put them at the pinnacle of emerging technology. Here you will find information for current and prospective undergraduate students.

Engineering Physics offers a BS degree for students interested in an interdisciplinary program combining basic physics with engineering applications. The program is jointly administered through the School of Engineering and the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics is offered in four design concentrations – Aerospace Systems, Chemical Systems, Digital Electronic Systems, and Electromechanical Control Systems. The required credits vary slightly depending on the concentration chosen, but are each approximately 128 – 130 hours.  All Engineering Physics degree concentrations meet or exceed the minimum requirements for math, science, engineering and engineering-related courses specified by ABET.  Graduating with a BS in Engineering Physics is contingent upon completing or having credit for all required courses or approved course substitutions, rather than completion of a specific number of credit hours.
