Engineering Physics isn't the most popular bachelor's program in the world, but it's not the least popular either. To be more precise it ranks #185 in popularity out of 363 majors in the country. So, you may have to do some digging around to find quality schools that offer the degree program. This list can help with that.
College Factual reviewed 2 schools in the Middle Atlantic Region to determine which ones were the best for bachelor's degree seekers in the field of engineering physics. When you put them all together, these colleges and universities awarded 75 bachelor's degrees in engineering physics during the 2022-2023 academic year.
Average early-career salary of those graduating with their bachelor's degree is one indicator we use in our analysis to find the schools that offer the highest-quality education. After all, your bachelor's degree won't mean much if it doesn't help you find a job that will help you earn a living.
Other Factors We Consider
In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:
Major Focus - How much a school focuses on engineering physics students vs. other majors.
Major Demand - How many other engineering physics students want to attend this school to pursue a bachelor's degree.
Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
Student Debt - How easy is it for engineering physics to pay back their student loans after receiving their bachelor's degree.
Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized engineering physics related body.
