Why study Engineering Physics at BVU
A BVU engineering physics degree gives you a strong foundation in physics and engineering while providing the flexibility to pursue your career goals through hands-on learning and faculty mentorship.
Learn by Building
Apply physics and mathematics to design, test, and improve real-world systems and technologies.
Hands-on Learning
Gain practical experience through laboratory work, projects, and undergraduate research.
Faculty Mentorship
Work closely with professors who know you by name and guide your academic, research, and career goals.
Graduate School Preparation
Build the technical and analytical skills needed for graduate engineering programs or careers in research or the industry.
Partnership with WashU
Start your engineering journey at BVU and finish at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo., through our 3+2 Engineering Partnership. After successful completion of two years of full-time study at WashU, you will be awarded a bachelor’s degree from BVU’s School of Science, as well as a bachelor’s degree in engineering from WashU’s McKelvey School of Engineering. WashU students can also continue their education and earn their master’s degree in just one additional year. The experience you gain through a liberal arts education at BVU, followed by a research-based education at WashU, sets you up for success in the field of engineering.
