About Engineering Physics in University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

The U-M Engineering Physics program equips graduates with the skills to develop advanced technologies by providing a thorough curriculum of engineering courses combined with a physics and mathematics education equivalent to a traditional physics degree. A unique feature of the curriculum is the focus area, or the elective sequence of engineering courses that the student selects in a specialized field. This focus area may follow any traditional engineering discipline or an interdisciplinary field, chosen by the student with the faculty advisor’s approval. Possible fields include energy, microprocessor design, plasma processing, electro-optics, radiological health, computational methods or bioengineering, to name just a few. With 36 credit hours of math, engineering and physics, plus 12 credits of general electives, Engineering Physics students have a high degree of flexibility and opportunity for exploring or specializing in fields of interest.Engineering Physics is particularly attractive to those students who may attend graduate school, even if they have not decided on a particular field. An advanced physics and mathematics background coupled with an engineering curriculum is excellent preparation for most graduate programs in engineering, physics or applied physics.

The Engineering Physics program is administered by the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences, but student focus areas need not be related to the department.
