Choosing a Great Engineering & Applied Physics School for Your Bachelor's Degree

The applied physics bachelor's degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. Important measures of a quality applied physics program can vary widely even among the top schools. Below we explain some of the most important factors to consider before making your choice:

Overall Quality Is a Must

A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well. To make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges ranking. This ranking considered factors such as graduation rates, overall graduate earnings and other educational resources to identify great colleges and universities.

Other Factors We Consider

In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to engineering & applied physics students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other engineering & applied physics students want to attend this school to pursue a bachelor's degree.
• Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized engineering & applied physics related body.

Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for engineering & applied physics students working on their bachelor's degree.
