<p>What are the best engineering physics schools for undergraduate degrees? Also, my husband has the gi bill so we're looking for a public institution or something affordable. Thanks!</p>
<p>That is a very broad question. You can look at the USNWR rankings and then find the schools which have Engineering Physics but that is probably not the best way to proceed. Instead, ask yourselves the following questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Do you want a large public or a smaller university?</p></li>
<li><p>Public or private?</p></li>
<li><p>Urban or college-town atmosphere?</p></li>
<li><p>Research university or mostly undergraduate?</p></li>
<li><p>Tech school or one with more liberal arts?</p></li>
<li><p>What is your ultimate goal, graduate school or a job after graduation?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>With these in mind, you can start eliminating schools which don’t meet your criteria. As a general guideline, remember to look into Applied Physics programs as well as Engineering Physics. They are often the same kind of program but without the ABET accreditation. You should also look for those universities which have a generous Yellow Ribbon program (I think it is still ongoing) which might make a private university financially viable. Finally, if you are interested in private technical universities, look into the [Association</a> of Independent Technological Universities](<a href=“http://theaitu.org%5DAssociation”>http://theaitu.org).</p>
<p>Thank you for your response. My husband doesn’t care about the school’s size or the college atmosphere. He would prefer a research school and isn’t particular towards public or private. He is planning on going to a more prestigious grad school later if he can. Also, I don’t think he can receive the yellow ribbon, since he only served 30 months after 9/11. Also one last thing is that be Santa the ABET accreditation.</p>
