Double Degree in Electrical Engineering and Physics

If your primary degree and major is Electrical Engineering, the following changes to the Physics curriculum will allow you to obtain a second degree with a major in Physics:

Substitute ENGR 122 for PHYS 102 and PHYS 103 (i.e. project-based freshman design course);
Add PHYS 261 and PHYS 262 sophomore labs not required in the ELEN curriculum;
Substitute ENGR 222 for PHYS 307 ;
Substitute ELEN 411 , for PHYS 406 and PHYS 407 ;
Substitute ELEN 223 for PHYS 408 and PHYS 409 ;
Substitute ELEN courses for PHYS directed electives, as long as the electives include one computational course;
Student can concurrently enroll in PHYS 435 with Senior Design. Senior design project can count toward PHYS 435 research requirement if turned in to completely satisfy course requirements of PHYS 435 .

Total additional requirements are 25 semester credit hours (PHYS 304 , PHYS 422 , PHYS 423 , PHYS 416 , PHYS 417 , PHYS 418 , PHYS 419 , PHYS 424 , plus sophomore labs, plus PHYS 435 which can be concurrent with senior design) to add a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Physics.
