Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Bachelor of Arts in Physics

The expanding national emphasis on innovation means there is a high demand of people with the combined skill set of the engineer's applications focus and the physicist's detailed scientific background. This competence is sought after by industry and positively viewed by graduate school admission committees. Examples of fields that require interdisciplinary education and training are:Quantum computation and informationNano science and engineeringPhotonicsMaterials science and engineeringThe inherent flexibility in the new UNM dual BSEE – BSBA physics degree program allows the electrical engineering student to tailor the physics degree to complement their end-goals.
