At Saint Louis University’s Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology, we have developed an innovative, future-focused engineering physics program that incorporates the latest trends in the industry to address the current and future needs of the profession and our society.
As a student in the engineering physics program at Parks College, you will gain an understanding of the branch of science that studies the nature of matter, energy and spacetime at the most fundamental level. It provides a foundation for all the natural sciences and engineering disciplines.
Training in physics leads to a broad-based understanding of natural phenomena, analytical and computer skills, experience with electronics and the operation of sophisticated equipment, an understanding of measurements and their limitations, and the ability to formulate and solve technical problems.
SLU's Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics prepares students for a broad range of careers requiring scientific and technical knowledge. Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, this program is ideally suited for students who have an interest in and aptitude for both physics and engineering. Students may select a concentration in aerospace, biomedical, computer, electrical, or mechanical engineering, or choose the interdisciplinary option. This curriculum also satisfies all requirements for a minor in engineering mathematics.
The required courses are accompanied by the Parks College core. Each student also completes a senior design project, typically as a member of a multidisciplinary team.
The benefits of SLU's engineering physics program at Parks College also include several internship and career opportunities.
The physics department employs some of its students as teaching and research assistants during the summer. Students have held summer internships at NASA-Langley, the Argonne National Laboratory and other laboratories. Students have worked both during the summer and during the year at local industries such as Boeing and Anheuser-Busch. Numerous opportunities exist for summer research in basic and applied physics in Parks College and in national laboratories and in National Science Foundation-sponsored programs at universities throughout the United States.
The program stresses undergraduate research and applications of computers in physics. New state-of-the-art research facilities allow students to work directly alongside faculty members on research projects.
Graduates with a bachelor’s degree in physics enter a variety of careers that depend on the technical skills gained in college. Our alumni are employed in product development and quality control in large industries such as RCA, Boeing or Lockheed-Martin. Alumni are computer specialists at Anheuser-Busch and other companies. Some are now involved in the marketing of technical products, while others are in management positions. A few graduates have entered military careers. Students frequently earn double majors, combining physics with mathematics, computer science or chemistry.
Begin your application for this program at www.slu.edu/apply. Saint Louis University also accepts the Common App.
All applications are thoroughly reviewed with the highest degree of individual care and consideration to all credentials that are submitted. Solid academic performance in college preparatory course work is a primary concern in reviewing a freshman applicant’s file.
To be considered for admission to any Saint Louis University undergraduate program, the applicant must be graduating from an accredited high school, have an acceptable HiSET exam score or take the General Education Development (GED) test. Beginning with the 2021-22 academic year, undergraduate applicants will not be required to submit standardized test scores (ACT or SAT) in order to be considered for admission. Applicants will be evaluated equally, with or without submitted test scores.
Begin your application for this program at www.slu.edu/apply.
Applicants must be a graduate of an accredited high school or have an acceptable score on the GED. An official high school transcript and official test scores are required only of those students who have attempted fewer than 24 transferable semester credits (or 30 quarter credits) of college credit. Those having completed 24 or more of college credit need only submit a transcript from previously attended college(s). In reviewing a transfer applicant’s file, the office of admission holistically examines the student’s academic performance in college-level coursework as an indicator of the student’s ability to meet the academic rigors of Saint Louis University.
Begin your application for this program at www.slu.edu/apply.
All admission policies and requirements for domestic students apply to international students along with the following:
In addition to the general admission and matriculation requirements of the University, the engineering physics program has the following additional requirements:
Admission requirements to Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology degree programs are based on a combination of secondary school grades, college admission test scores, co-curricular activities and attempted college course work, as well as other indicators of the applicant’s ability, career focus and character. This process respects the non-discrimination policy of the University and is designed to select a qualified, competent and diverse student body with high standards of scholarship and character, consistent with the mission of the University.
There are two principal ways to help finance a Saint Louis University education:
For priority consideration for merit-based scholarships, apply for admission by Dec. 1 and complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 1.
For information on other scholarships and financial aid, visit the student financial services office online at https://www.slu.edu/financial-aid.
The aerospace engineering, biomedical engineering, civil engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, engineering physics and mechanical engineering undergraduate curricula are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
The undergraduate engineering physics program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (http://www.abet.org).
The undergraduate program is designed to meet the following specific objectives in order to fulfill the departmental and institutional missions. By three to five years after graduation, graduates of the engineering physics program will be:
Engaged in successful public or private sector careers in engineering physics or a related field or as students pursing advanced or professional degrees
Collaborating effectively on multi-disciplinary teams and communicating effectively both within the team and with stakeholders
Advancing in their professional careers through taking on increasing responsibilities, pursuing lifelong learning, continuing professional development, and seeking professional registration as appropriate for their employers
Acting responsibly, ethically and in the service of humanity when making personal and professional decisions
