Is an 5-year Engineering Physics with MS in Physics w/BS in math poss?

[MACHO-WIMP]

Hi,
I was accepted into a college and I'm going to attend next year in the US, and as I was looking for majors, I came upon Engineering Physics. My college offers a 5-year program where you can get a BS in Engineering Physics and a MS in physics, and I was wondering if it is possible/worth it to try and double major with a BS in math at the same time. I'm good at math and science and work very hard.

I'm also wondering what careers I could go into with an Engineering Physics degree or if it is more useful to major in either a standard engineering branch or just get a regular physics degree.

Thanks!

Yes, it is possible to double major in engineering physics and mathematics. The best way to decide if it is worth it to you is to consider what career paths you are interested in. Engineering Physics combines the principles of physics and engineering, so it could lead to many different job opportunities. Depending on your specific interests, you may find a career in aerospace engineering, energy engineering, materials engineering, medical device engineering, and more. A standard engineering branch may also provide various opportunities, such as civil engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. A regular physics degree may lead to a career in research, teaching, or medical physics. Ultimately, it's important to consider how each major aligns with your goals and interests.
