Hello everybody,
I am writing here because I am confused. I just transferred to UCSD and I will stay here for three years. I want to graduate from with an engineering degree. I narrowed down my choice to electrical engineering and engineering physics majors. I love physics and would love to study it but engineering physics program is not ABET accredited while EE is. I am lost here. Please help.

Others can chime in who are wiser that me on this, but I think there’s a difference between choosing a program that could rise to the level of ABET accreditation, but has yet to do so, or worse lost their accreditation versus a program that is not ABET accredited simply because it isn’t a degree that ABET has an accreditation for. A quick search of ABET shows no accredited Engineering Physics programs in the U.S. presumably because it isn’t a degree where accreditation is offered. People get engineering jobs with Physics degrees. They aren’t ABET accredited. I’d be inclined to say go with the major that interests you more.
@eyemgh - I think you must have not searched correctly. Colorado School of Mines has an an accredited EP program, as do Embry-Riddle, Tulane, Kettering University, Rose-Hulman, Saint Louis Univ., Univ. of Kansas, and a number of others. Kettering also has an ABET accredited Applied Physics program.
The value of having an ABET accredited EP degree is certainly relevant. You have to decide if this is important to you and if it is, go for the EE degree at UCSD.
Man, I don’t know what happened!?! 
I’ll blame it on my old iPad.
