ENGINEERING PHYSICS (BS)
The engineering physics degree program is a diverse study
emphasizing physics, mathematics, computer science and electronic
instrumentation. A graduate can select many options: entering the
business sector as an industrial physicist, engineering-related scientist
or computer analyst, or entering graduate school for study toward
MS or PhD degrees in engineering, physics or related sciences.
The engineering physics major has 6 hours of electives that may
include foreign language. During the first two years, the student
takes the same courses in mathematics and physics as the regular
physics major; so a final decision on a major is not required until the
junior year. It is advantageous, however, to decide earlier to avoid
scheduling problems.BS: ENGINEERING PHYSICS DEGREE PLAN (ENGP)

ENGINEERING SCIENCE (BS)
The Department of Physics at Abilene Christian University offers two
cooperative degrees in association with the University of Texas at
Arlington (UTA). The ACU degree is a 129-hour Bachelor of Science
in Engineering Science. The student will receive a BS degree in
engineering science after the successful completion of three years at
ACU and one year (29 hours of "C" or better) of specified course work
