The Bachelor in Physics/Engineering Dual Degree is a unique program for students who want to earn two degrees in physics and engineering. This four-year degree is offered by the University of North Georgia and allows students to start their studies at UNG before transferring to an engineering college to complete their engineering degree. The main advantage of this program is that students receive two bachelor's degrees, one from UNG and one from the engineering college.

The curriculum includes foundational and upper-division courses in mathematics, as well as core curriculum courses. Students take courses such as Principles of Physics, Modern Physics, and Thermal Physics, and develop skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and laboratory techniques. The program also includes hands-on components, such as lab work and research projects, to help students apply theoretical concepts to real-world problems.

Graduates of this program can pursue careers as Aerospace Engineers, Biomedical Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Electrical Engineers, or Mechanical Engineers. They can work in industries such as aerospace, healthcare, energy, or manufacturing, and can be employed by companies such as NASA, the US Department of Defense, or private engineering firms.
