Computer Engineering Major + Physics Minor?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

A major in Computer Engineering (CompE) combined with a minor in Physics does not significantly enhance employment prospects compared to a standalone CompE degree. The discussion indicates that graduates will primarily secure CompE-related positions regardless of the minor. Additionally, pursuing a dual major in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering (elecE) may provide a broader skill set beneficial for graduate school applications. Ultimately, the choice between a minor and a dual major should align with individual career goals.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Computer Engineering principles

What kind of careers could I get if I majored in computer engineering with a minor in physics? Or does a dual-major in compE and elecE make more sense? Which is better for grad school? Thanks!

I don't think a minor in physics will drastically alter your employment prospects, ie, you'll probably find a CompE related job.
