B.S. in Computer Engineering, M.S./PhD in Technical/Engineering Physics?

[Theoneandonly99]

Hello all. Currently, I'm working towards changing my major towards Computer Engineering from Physics. I love Physics, but I can't see myself pursuing it as a lifetime career for some reason.

When I told my high school teacher about this, he suggested that I look into technical physics (otherwise known as engineering physics), and see if that piques my interest. The description, a combination of engineering and physics, does indeed interest me. However, this particular major is not offered at my school (as far as I'm aware), and I'm still pursuing a B.S. in Computer Engineering as of now.

My question is this: if I get a B.S. in CE, would I be able to pursue higher level education in the field of Technical Physics? Maybe for certain fields/specialization such as computation physics/systems?

If you get a BS in Computer Engineering you will have a hard time pursuing higher education in Technical Physics. They are quite different in material and technique. If you want to be a computer engineer or go to graduate school in computer or electrical engineering that will be much easier.
