Undergraduate Physical Science Program Information
The Plasma Accelerated Reusable Transport System (PARTS) designed by EP students is an unmanned cargo shuttle capable of ferrying large payloads to and from Martian orbit using a highly efficient Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR).
Do you have a strong interest in spacecraft engineering and space physics?
Do you have a high aptitude in science and mathematics?
Do you have a desire to apply scientific knowledge to solve engineering and science problems?
If you said "yes, that's me," applying for admission to the Engineering Physics or Space Physics program at Embry-Riddle would be a great choice for your future! These two programs, offered by the Physical Sciences Department, hone the students for careers as engineers or scientists by offering a balanced curriculum of class work, laboratory work, and capstone senior design experiences.
For those who desire more advanced studies before embarking on their careers, we now offer an accelerated program that allows students to complete both a Bachelor and Master in Engineering Physics within five years.
