Bachelor's in Physics and Engineering

Ball State University is a prestigious public research university located in Muncie, Indiana. Founded in 1918, Ball State offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs in fields such as business, education, fine arts, health sciences, humanities, and sciences. The university is committed to providing a transformative educational experience that combines academic rigor with practical application. With a focus on immersive learning, Ball State emphasizes hands-on experiences, internships, and community engagement to prepare students for successful careers and a meaningful impact on society. The university's dedicated faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and vibrant campus community create an environment conducive to intellectual growth, innovation, and personal development. Through its strong research programs and commitment to inclusive excellence, Ball State University continues to shape the future by empowering its students to make a difference in their chosen fields.

Ball State University and Anderson University are partnered together for a dual-degree program in physics and engineering. This program gives Ball State students the opportunity to enroll in our physics major and take additional courses in engineering at Anderson University to earn two degrees in five years. You will be a Ball State cardinal and only pay tuition to Ball State, but you will have the advantage of taking additional classes at Anderson University's premier School of Engineering. And in five years—or less, if you enroll in Ball State with transferable credit—you will graduate with two bachelor's degrees. This dual-degree program is a powerful combination of two interrelated and mathematics-based disciplines. Physics is a fundamental science where you are trying to learn and explain the universe using mathematics. Engineering is taking both the physics and mathematics and using those as tools to design solutions to problems. The advantage of this dual-degree program is that it allows you to dive deep into both physics and engineering, rather than limiting yourself to just one discipline.
