BS Engineering Physics

Engineering physics explores how physics and engineering come together to find solutions to real-world problems. As a student in the engineering physics major, you’ll learn the mathematical tools important to all scientists and engineers and study how basic physics underlies common rules within engineering fields. By the time you get to the end of the program, you’ll be ideating and conceptualizing real applied projects, building devices and making them work.

Xavier's engineering physics major also provides students a clear path to pursue a 1-year Masters in Engineering or a 2-year, research-based Masters in Science at the University of Cincinnati in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or Civil Engineering.

Xavier University, located in Cincinnati, Ohio, is nationally recognized as a top university by U.S. News & World Report, The Princeton Review and Forbes. 98 percent of our students, including those in the engineering physics major, are working, volunteering or in graduate school within six months of graduation (Class of 2021).
