Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and Physics

Northeastern University

This intercollege combined major serves students who would like to explore their interest in physics while earning the benefit of an accredited Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering degree. The combined major integrates study within the College of Engineering's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering with study within the College of Science's Department of Physics. Because of the large body of shared knowledge between computer engineering and physics, an integrated combined major between these two disciplines is a logical course of study and can be accomplished within either a four-year plan of study or a five-year plan of study (including three co-op placements in the latter), without requiring course overloads in any semester. A student graduating from this program will have studied both physics fundamentals and computer systems.Students interested in this program should contact the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering or the Department of Physics as early as possible, preferably prior to registering for first-year courses.
