<p>I will most likely be majoring in physics. If I decide after my four years as a physics major to study engineering, will my physics degree act as a prerequisite? I know that a physics bachelors degree is almost worthless but if I go to grad school I'll most likely get a good job?</p>

<p>It all depends on:</p>
<p>1) the selected graduate engineering program/major
2) the selected school’s ABET requirement
3) how many undergraduate prerequisites did you complete before applying</p>
<p>Graduate programs like systems engineering really require just the calculus, statistics and a few computer science courses to get in. EE programs will want the circuits courses, etc.</p>
<p>Some schools will without bending require a ABET undergraduate engineering degree for admission (U-Arkansas comes to mind). Some schools will just award non-ABET undegrads a M.S. degree while the ABET grads will get a M.S. Engineering degree (Purdue, Michigan does this). Some schools allow physical and mathematical science students in (U-Wisconsin).</p>
<p>For the record, I was a math major as a undergrad and did systems engineering in grad school.</p>
I know this thread is old, but it fits my possible scenario. Are the prerequisites for MS in systems engineering basically the same as a MS in industrial engineering? The degrees are pretty much the same, except different names, right? I’m considering getting a BS in physics then a MS in industrial engineering. A undergrad physics student takes the same math and physics courses as an undergrad engineering student., at my school.
Please start a new thread instead of posting on a 6 year old one.
