Academic Standards for Graduation
- An average G.P.A. > 2.00 is required for all professional engineering courses taken to fulfill the requirements of the Engineering Physics major (all required and elective engineering courses numbered 3000 or above) in order to graduate with an engineering physics degree.
- A “C-” or better is required in ENGRPHYS 4930 (or GENENG 4930 with departmental permission) in order to graduate with an engineering physics degree.
- Prerequisite courses in mathematics, science, and engineering often require a "C-" or better to advance to the next course (see course descriptions in this Catalog for specific information).
- Only one “D/D+” in an ENGRPHYS course may be counted toward graduation with an engineering physics degree.

| Professional Engineering Electives | 15 | |
(A.) All Engineering Physics majors must complete 15 or more credits of Professional Engineering Electives. The department has created suggested concentrations that are listed below to help students select electives, but students may also choose their own elective options in consultation with their advisor. All courses under the ENGINEERING CONCENTRATIONS given below as well as those listed in OTHER PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING ELECTIVES are acceptable Professional Engineering Electives. Any course not listed will require department approval. | ||
(B.) Only one of COMPENG 2780, SOFTWARE 2730, GENENG 2340 and MECHENG 2630 may count toward the 15 Professional Engineering Elective credits required for graduation. | ||
(C.) Professional Engineering Elective courses may not "double-count" within the major. Specifically, a single course may not simultaneously satisfy an Engineering Science requirement (see above) and also count as a Professional Engineering Elective. | ||
(D.) Engineering Physics majors may take Engineering Physics Cooperative Education, ENGRPHYS 3950, Engineering Physics Internship, ENGRPHYS 3970, or Engineering Physics Independent Study, ENGRPHYS 4990. Co-op and internship can count towards the Professional Engineering Elective requirement provided that the student makes a presentation (arranged by the Engineering Physics department) summarizing their experience after the internship or co-op has been completed. However, no more than two credits total amongst these three courses (ENGRPHYS 3950, ENGRPHYS 3970 and ENGRPHYS 4990) may be used to satisfy the Professional Engineering Elective requirement. | ||
