Notes:
* ENPH 317 can be taken in 3rd or 4th year and is a Physics List A elective.
** Students are free to take Complementary Studies courses at any time in their program that suits their interests, workloads, and schedules. Read explanatory notes on Complementary Studies at the end of this section.
APSC 303 may be taken as a List B technical elective for students that have successfully completed the internship program (QUIP).
APSC 381 may be taken as a technical elective for students particularly interested in engineering design.
Physics list A electives ENPH 491 and ENPH 495 typically are not offered every year, thus students may want to consider adding them to their third year program.
Note: In the third year of the Engineering Physics program students may apply to the Accelerated Masters program. In this program, students work closely with a supervisor in the summer after the third year of school doing research that leads towards a Masters degree in Physics or Engineering Physics. To accelerate students' progress towards a Masters degree, students take two graduate courses in their fourth year. These courses replace the Engineering Elective and a List "A" or List "B" course in the undergraduate program. Students enroll in ENPH 555 for their undergraduate thesis instead of ENPH 455. Students are admitted based on a minimum GPA of 3.7 and acceptance by a supervisor. Students are expected to finish their full Masters degree within 16 months after the undergraduate program, saving a year of time.
