Department of Physical Sciences

Accreditation

The Physical Sciences Department is the home to three degree programs, B.S. in Engineering Physics, B.S. in Space Physics, and M.S. in Engineering Physics. The Engineering Physics degree program is fully accredited by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology).

The ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission first granted accreditation in 1994 (after the first graduating class in Spring 1991), and reaccredited the program in 2001 and 2008 with high marks overall, in particular for the quality of instruction and student-faculty interaction.
