Engineering physics or applied physics

<p>What major would be better for grad schools? Does it matter? Is it possible to make a applied physics major look like a engineering physics major with a concentrate in bioengineering?</p>

<p>Graduate school for what? Engineering Physics and Applied Physics are the same thing at most schools. What do you want to do mainly?</p>

<p>Either bioengineering, astrophysics, or nanotech still not sure. But I read I can go into either of them from a engineering physics undergrad</p>

<p>Yes I would take Eng Phys and take what interests you the most with all the free electives, that will set you up perfectly for Grad school in either of those three fields.</p>

<p>You might have more free electives in an applied physics program than an engineering physics program that has to maintain ABET accreditation but fundamentally they are similar. At schools like mine, the Applied Physics degree is basically an Engineering Physics without the name, or accreditation.</p>
